Thanks guys.
Thanks Barry. I've always heard that a separate mains for hifi is the golden ticket. But there does seem to be some opposing views, more than I would have thought so far.
I've been doing some research in to the parts list based on Nigel's post.
Here is what I have so far:

Is this what I would need to be fitted? The prices seem okay, but could be cheaper maybe?

BTW.... they guy I had round quoted £400+ for fitting a more modern consumer box, does anyone know if that's a good price?

Probably if hes fullyup to date and certified it sounds ok. Gas fitter who fitted my gas fire and fireplace, and altered spur cost about that but 10 years ago. Its the legal bit you are paying for so make sure his credentials are up to date, or you,ll have to pay someone to redo it

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
I paid about £650 for the work. In my estimation the materials would be around £200, so that leaves roughly £450 for the labour + certification. I would have done it all myself, and could have done the work to an equally high, if not higher, standard; but these days, for insurance purposes, all work needs to conform to the latest regulations and a certificate issued. So even if I had done the work myself (and as I get older I'm increasingly willing to pay for others to do any heavy labour such as raising and then refitting floorboards etc.), I would still have to have employed an electrician qualified to the latest standards to check and 'write off' the work.
A new 10-way consumer unit populated with RCBs will be about £120, and I would expect simply replacing your old CU with a newer one would take no more than a couple of hours.

I was being sarcastic - Dennis (Pharos) asked for results/analysis on the benefits of installing a dedicated mains supply before he, or anyone else, went ahead and installed one. Dennis uses 5A round pin plugs and sockets in his system, claiming they have lower contact resistance when mated compared to the 13A type. If there are results/analysis to support such claims then perhaps I might be interested in changing the connectors to the old round pin style.
