Just an update (and a shameless bump, sorry), to report that someone in another forum thinks RF/EMI has little to do with this, and that instead the transformers of my assorted pieces of equipment are being "thrown into oscillation" by something in my system. This would explain why neither the sound problems, nor a wide assortment of ancillary symptoms (e.g., a CD player whose outside chassis gets burn-your-fingers hot to the touch in my house) never manage to repeat themselves on anyone's test bench.
Three new questions for the room, then:
1) Is this explanation consistent with the practical side of how this problem has unfolded (specifically, could it be robust to change-outs of everything including all three types of cables)?
2) Is there a way to diagnose it with my multimeter and, if diagnosed, is there a remedy?
3) Am I safe in assuming that the money I've just spent on two-wire-with-shield interconnects would have been to no benefit whatsoever, in the face of a transformers-in-oscillation diagnosis, or should I proceed with the attachment of drain wires to those IC's when they get here, anyway?
