I guess I side with JB on this one.   I have solved so many problems 
with noise on the input (be it a guitar amp, a ham radio, a tape 
recorder, or even connecting sound cards between different computers, 
etc.) by finding the point where an extra ground to the equipment 
chassis of the respective devices kills it.  Of course you don't always 
want to solve the problem  (e.g., an electric guitar may not sound quite 
the same afterwards, and maybe you will accept a certain amount of 
buzzing to keep your signature the sound...)  but often a spare wire to 
ground cures it.

I cannot help but think that is better than trying to choke it all off 
with numerous ferrite beads.

Just MY take...
