My former employer used to recommend a separate ring mains for the hifi so you'd get rid of noise from washing machines and other big switching devices.
Re:
I've had some positive experiences with mains filtering devices.
I built some plug-in parallel filters, similar to those you can purchase from Russ Andrews: http://www.russandrews.com/mains-zapperators/ and the like; I built five of these for around £20.00 including the plug cases:
I also used an ISOL-8 mains filter and added some additional isolation transformers and mains filters to it:

Re:
just stopped since i got home at five!
stripped it down, cleaned it up, put it back together and it's come up a treat!
everything works, even got the counter working again, but unfortunately it eats tapes!
the motors all work, it just starts winding the tape up inside and stops playing.
could probably do with some new belts and a clean of the pinch rollers, although my knowledge of cassette mechanisms and how to bring them back to tip-top isn't great!
anyway, very satisfying to make it look healthy again, Jo Whiley sounds sweet on it!

That's a nice thing that is. Perfect shed radio.

Been sorting out my stiffness. The shelf was a bit boingy so got hold of some decent cast alloy brackets. Bit over the top but £15 versus Rega wall mount was a bargain. I could sit on this.

Re:
Hi LGF
Have you got a big ballsy amp no finesse just big sound, got a Sony direct drive turntable and a Marantz twin deck. Was using a Technics class A amp, just got some Mission speakers and the amp is okay with one and okay if I have it on very quiet but turn it up and it trips the computer drive. Mostly use it for listening to my Deep Purple, AC-DC, Rainbow vinyl. :facepalm:
