Rarely do I see a device that's fully immune to them, even with balanced interconnects, etc. It's really important to make sure these do not exist in your system before deciding to upgrade any of the components. Sometimes these manifest themselves in a low-level noise, sometimes rise to an audible hum. This is also an area where pro equipment seems to perform better. I really think working on eliminating such sources of noise in *systems* that don't appear in individual components, cables, etc., on the test bench is a very fruitful pursuit.
