Idea to reduce RFI

I live 1 block from the main mobile communication tower. That my speakers has pickup some radio channel though its only audible with my ear next to the speaker.

i am looking for any idea to reduce this kind of RFI. how bout an ferrite core? ERS paper? shield interconnect? shield power cable? which is most effective way as read somewhere in the forum that shield PC for amp causes dead sound?

line conditioner or iso transformer help with RFI or they only good to clean up power?

i have all ungrounded cdp , pre and amp. would shielding PC help with floating ground units to reduce RFI?

my system:
cdp cyrus 8x with psr (no ground from unit)
pre amc cvt 1030 (no ground from unit)
amp amc cvt 2100 (no ground from unit)
cd buffer yaqin 6j1

Milen,

Try it and let us know. I don't have any experience w/them. Cheers,

My experience with using amps on isolation transformers is that they do suck a bit of life out of the music. Lack of attack and smoothed over sound. I've tried probably a dozen power conditioners with amps, none have worked thus far.

I did use Bybees in my former amps, at that time I didn't detect any downsides, couldn't really tell you if they affected RFI as that problem had already been resolved. I do have some Bybees ready to install in my present amp, just haven't gotten around to it.

I was also troubled by an unshielded interconnect previously.So I added an copper braided shield which was gounded with a drain wire.The drain wire is then connected to a small DC battery and a 0.22uf capacitor.WOW!!the sound was fantastic very life-like,much more detail and 3 D like.The soundstage just open up with greater depth and height.I think this active shield help eliminate the RFI/EMI. Now I can never enjoy without the DIY active shield on,it is that good.
