Maybe you have a particularly 'bad' 6569 in that respect. The chip is 
NMOS, but gets fed the 17.73 MHz (4 x color clock) which it then uses to 
generate the differently phased 4.43 MHz it uses to generate the color 
signal.

That's a pretty hefty job and probably the reason why the 6569 still 
needs +12V instead of running completly on +5V like the HMOS-II 8565.

Maybe that generator in your 6569 is a bit 'off' with respect to signal 
quality? Have you tried a different 8701?

Also, some people claim, that the old clock generator (74LS629 and 
MC4044P on the 250407 boards) produces less jitter than the 8701.
