POP, POP, POP..Please stop?

I live in an older apartment. However, when my refridgerator turns on/off it causes a pop noise in my monitors. I don't think the outlets are grounded and it would take Major work to rewire the apartment. Are there any quick fixes? I've tried surge protectors etc. Should I be more concerned with the outlet the Refridgerator is plugged into or the outlets my gear is plugged into?

Solder Sucks!

Yep, it's true. Of course you don't believe it. Hearing the sound difference be so like what I've heard on some of the best recordings I've found, I suspect this may be a closely guarded secret of some producers, but that's a guess. Just try making one cable that brings sound into or out of an external box, or from a synth to the in of your recorder using no solder. Voila..

What about building a dbx Channel Strip mixer ?

I was wandering... if it's possible to make a "console" from those dbx Channel Strips? I could have a whole bunch of those together... let's say, 16 of those... around $8000... that would be 16 channels with EQ and compressor, 96k digital outs... doesn't sound THAT bad to me... don't get me wrong... I don't even have all that money... that's just a thought... is this a ridiculous thought?

mixing question 2

When I play in position 1 on my guitar, voice and guitar occupy a lot of the same frequencies.

With just voice and guitar in the mix, what would you be doing with the EQ? I'm okay EQing the tracks individually, but I'm wondering about them together. Do guitar and voice typically fight each other frequency-wise? What to listen for?
