There is a lot on the web about the technology if you wish to read up on it. The basic concept is to use a center tapped transformer at both ends of the line which nulls out any interfearance that occurs between the two transformers. I often run 100 feet and several hundred feet is common. You need a pair of transformers at each end for stereo, I think last time I looked they were about $10 each at radio shack. You would also need to purchase 3 conductor shielded cables for each channel which could cost $20-$30 each.

I am talking about more or less ten meters. I now get some kind of ground hum because of the length of the cable. Is there some other way of transmitting high fidelity sound over long distance? I could perhaps rather try to lay a USB cable of the same length?

Oh well..I've lived with it all this time (got the transmitter in the Christmas of 04)..this amplifier thing that John talks about might be a thought; mainly wanted to see if what I'm experiencing is normal for this transmitter (I can make it as loud as the station should sound)..aw but then the "s" sounds sound distorted!
