I'm considering getting a psychic in, bad spirits might be interfering in my enjoyment of music, I've tried almost everything else. Apart from that, when my fridge goes off, you know when it hums and then stops, I guess cos its reached the right temperature, then a click is heard through my speakers, does that mean anything? I've taken the mains conditioner out, as it was just a big box having little effect, is there anything else I should try power wise?

Get an electrician to run a cable to a dedicated socket for the HiFi that is on its own circuit from the consumer unit.

I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
Mains conditioner? Mine works perfectly; never a click or hum whatsoever. Inky black background, even with the valve buffer.

My last fridge did the same, and it was even worse with my Midi Time Piece MIDI interface because it set up a permanent sound from the MIDI instruments. So I would go out and return home to find 70dB of synthesiser had been playing for a long time.
RS did a suppression potted block in packs containing a cap and resistor, packs of three or five I believe, and I fitted one in the mains connection box on the fridge with some improvement.
Contact switch suppressors are readily obtained from Maplin or RS. They are usually a series combination of a 0.1uF 500V capacitor with a 100R resistor encapsulated in a single package. You can fit them across the thermostat contacts of your fridge, but only do so if you know what you are doing.
Otherwise you could try plugging your audio system into another socket further away from the socket into which your fridge is plugged.

I have the P5 which is brillant, it supplies all my devices with power and even powers up each item slightly after the other to avoid max current demand, but it still does not stop interference from my BT internal phones. My TE Groove picks up a mains like buzz and I get scan noise in the speakers from the handset. The only way around this is to switch off the power to the base station and move the handsets behind a metre thich wall.
