Bob,
Putting a large speaker magnet near any tuned circuit creates a large
magnetic field that can affect the tuned circuit. The effect of your large
speaker is common upon many radios. This even affects toroid circuits such
as those in the K2.

Others suggested that it stopped because the K2/100 was in a different
room on an AC circuit other than the amp.
Well, the amp is on a dedicated 220 VAC line and the K2/100 is
That dedicated 220 VAC line is likely not all that dedicated, unless
you have absolutely separate 220 VAC service coming into your shack.
Under typical home circumstances, the 110 VAC is simply on one side of
the 220 VAC line. So your 110 shares a buss with the 220 VAC.
LIkewise, two

It has been suggested that mu-metal shielding might alleviate the
problem. I'm considering making mu-metal bottom and side covers for my
K2.
If I were having that problem, I'd be thinking about shielding the
*source*...because it would likely affect other equipment

Yes, indeed, the source is the HV xfmr in the amp. No other equipment in
the shack is affected by it, including any other
I've seen several mentions of mu metal in this discussion. I offer a few
thoughts for what they are worth.
Some years back, when I worked in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Group
at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we occasionally used mu-metal. The idea
is that it directly suppresses
: magnetic fields and phase noise?

Mu metal is expensive, difficult to find, hard to work with if you can

it, and if subjected to mechanical shock, it can lose its mu-ness

Here's a wild guess to throw in the mix. Since you have tried shielding
and separation to eliminate or minimize the presumed radiated noise path,
I'm beginning to wonder if the noise source is conducted via the power

I have never tried shielding.
