Default Timewave ANC-4 question!

I use an Timewave ANC-4 to reduce noise on the low bands at my location.
On 40 & 160 meters I can reduce the noise almost to S1, but on 75 meters I
can only reduce it to S4-5.
I use a noise sense antenna which is a dipole 4ft on each side about 4
inches off the ground and parallel to the power and telephone lines.
Anyone have one of these units and having any ideas I might try to reduce 75
meters to a lower S-meter reading?

All my low band antennas are verticals.

Regarding the various DSP and Filtering comments.

The ANC-4 keeps most of the noise crap from ever getting into the radio in the
first place. Local manmade noise is phase canceled BEFORE the first rf connector
INTO the rig.

This makes the DSP/Filter functions much more effective in that they have a less
severe noise environment to deal with.

I use an ANC-4 with an ICOM 756 Pro III. I wouldn't be without the ANC-4.
