Not necessarily.  EVERY cable is an antenna.  I would not rule out the 
stereo until I'd tried a "dummy" connector in the line between the 
Airport and the stereo.  Bill Whitlock developed the idea of a "dummy" 
-- it's a male/female connector combo wired so that the shields carry 
through but the signal conductors do not. That preserves the "antenna" 
path, but breaks the audio path, so you can figure out which box is 
detecting the RF.

> and there are LOTS of reports of Airports picking up even FM broadcast.  I'm thinking of the bucket, but would need to fins something else that would do the job.  Any ideas how to suppress this thing?  I'm betting there is some sort of DC>daylight audio response that can be bypassed or something

Do you also have a choke on the power cable to the Airport?

What is the source of "music" to the system?  A computer?  Anything that 
has wires attached?

You didn't say what transmitter frequencies are being detected.
