Circuit breakers and dirty power


I was wondering if there is a recommended circuit breaker to use. I look at all of the time and money being spent trying to get the best receptical and power cords assemled, but why use a $5.00 home depot circuit breaker. I can hear my water heater timer through my speakers(*&%^$). Now I am trying to come up with a way to eliminate this without spending $1000.00 on a power supply system. I will run a dedicated line and I have 4 Hubble hospital grade outlets I am going to use. But won't I still have the same problem? How can I get clean power without spending a fortune?

just don't use a GFI breaker electrically they're very noisy.
The quietest mains connection can be had by using a subpanel with an Edison fuse, vs. a circuit breaker.
The switching transients from the water heater may possibly be adequately isolated by running the audio rig on a DEDICATED CIRCUIT. If that doesn't completely stop the noise then you'll need Audio Prism Quiet Line, or some other transorb such an a GE V130LA20B M.O.V. installed across the line. Many line conditioners incorporate MOV's integral to the design.
