    Are the lights LED? Some LED lights and their smps dish out terrible RF to the point where it swamps the signal for mobile phones. If you've something like this going on it could easily bleed into the hifi too.

    Yes they are LED Clive
    It just occurred to me though that it wasn't noticeable when using the Salvation t/t with Verus rim drive

    Have other brand LEDs you could try? Might be the power supplies though...could be either. Should have stayed with the Salvation!

    Does the problem only occur when using the turntable? If so, what is the cartridge?

    Got some problems myself with the downlights at the kitchen which has a dimmer. Yesterday they made a strange sound after being turned, and these have a been a bit unstable previously with some of the lights now working. The previous house owner was a bit too happy with these kind of solutions. I suspect them to send some noise into the power. I aim to get all these dimmers removed shortly and have contacted a electrician to check it.

    Have you considered a "Grounding box" ???

    Can you pin it down to the amp or one of the inputs then work from there.
