Oh, what I did should definitely have tripped it off. ;-) I gave up on
it for the night, I'm now enjoying listening to some loud music,
instead.

I really think that a ground loop is at the root of your problem. But I don't
know anything more about finding and fixing that problem than to say "call an
electrician."

It does have a bit of that sort of feel to it. However, there's nothing
that I can feel when I touch the chassis of earthed gear. I'm more
inclined to believe that it's signal related rather than hazardous.
