Hi 

I want to use the SONOS Connect to connect my conventional HIFI set to the SONOS environment.
However upon putting a cable in the Connect box the SONOS system starts to make a "buzzing" sound ( like one used to have when a record player was not grounded correctly)
The buzz is not always there nor is the volume not constant
The buzzing can be reproduced by actually touching the end of the cable that is connected to the Connect.
I tried another cable with the same result. buzzing as well. 

What can be the cause of this annoying buzz, and how to overcome it? 
when actually connecting my HIFI set to the Connect the buzz is clearly audible when playing records

Try using Ground Loop Isolator or Impedance plug (10-30 Ohm should be enough).

If there is a cable box, have you tried my test of disconnecting the cable from the street?
