Sorry this was the conditioner I got (UK specific obviously): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tacima-Conditioner-Frequency-Interference-Filter/dp/B000PS5700/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1405533143&sr=8-14&keywords=ground+loop+isolator
>Edit: It's in frequently bought together section but I can't seem to find a North American one. Do you think just the isolator will do?
It definitely can't hurt to try. The mains conditioner is likely to not help much at all if it really is just ground loops. I only got one to cover all my bases just in case.
Yes it is possible. There are many thousands of EMI/RFI filters sold as electrical parts, which we electronics hobbyists build into our gear. Here are 758 of them at UK Mouser, an electronics distributor: (LINK)
All you need to do is find consumer end-products which contain one of these.
Perhaps one of these products from UK Amazon might contain an EMI/RFI filter:

If so then you're good to go. If not and if you are desperate, you can buy some EMI filters (as components) from UK Mouser, put them in an insulated chassis, hook up the appropriate AC mains connectors, and build your own.
Since your dad is an electrical engineer, he will be comfortable reading product selection guides from manufacturers. Forward him these so he can read up on what's available and how well it works

Thanks for your input.
I put the surge protector in because of the problem I've been experiencing, so yes it does happen either way.
I hadn't heard of power conditioners, but I've had a look into them. Some appear to be like more expensive surge protectors, and others look to be like serious rack mountable bits of kit that are significantly more expensive.
Are the ones that look like surge protected extension leads any good - or are they just mislabeled surge protectors?
Thank you so much! I'm in the UK, but I found this and this. Any idea if those would work/which one would work better, or do you have any suggestions for a UK compatible device?
It's a Tacima 6-way Mains Conditioner.
