I've found a good way of detecting these 'sun-spots':

1. Get a guitar amplifier with distortion (or a hi-fi will do).
2. Connect an audio lead (best is 6.3mm to 6.3mm jack mono) to it and turn
   the amp on.  If the jack has a metal sleeve, don't touch it
3. Wave the jack around by the monitor and hear the horrible sound from the 
   amp. That's your monitor, that is!
3. Wave the jack just over your Acorn.  Hear the noise?  That's your
   monitor, that is!  Oh dear...

 solution is your problem and you have not made a problem
 but a solution. . . either that or you're insane."
