Post subject:  lots of interference (fuzzy image) when using Ultimate SD

When I use normal 5200 cartridges, the signal is very clear without much fuzz at all on my CRT. But when I use the Ultimate SD, the image is significantly fuzzier with interference. I tested compared to the exact same games I own on cartridge.

Since one possibility seemed to extra power draw from the cart, I tried both my 5200's original A/C adapter and a high quality Triad brand 3.5 amp power supply (with barrel plug adapter to plus tip polarity). Both power supplies have the same results.

Does anybody else notice a degraded image compared to actual carts? Any advice on what else I can try? If not, is there a chance my Ultimate SD is defective?

Better contact Steve directly.
Could be interference from the CPU in the cartridge.
Does moving the RF-cable around do anything?
I have put an AV-out on my 5200, so I can't tell.
