Subject:TRS plugs question (may be a little OT)

Hi guys, I have a question about cables. Using B4 with my computer and a mixer and an
amp, I'm getting annoying buzzes coming from the connection from the mixer to the amp.
I'm using mono 1/4" cables, and I remember some people here saying that if you use 1/4"
stereo (TRS) cables instead of the mono ones, you'll get rid of the noise. Is that true?
Like instead of using two mono cables, I would use two stereo cables, and that would
reduce the noise? What if I bought some mono Monster cables, would that reduce the buzz?

I also notice this when I take just my keyboard and amp to live gigs sometimes, would
having a TRS cable instead of mono ones help reduce the buzz I get, it really can get
annoying sometimes. Thanks, I appreciate any help.
