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
belden diy PC
lessloss PC
few diy shielded and unshielded PC
audio art ic-3

thanks in advance

You can't hear RFI. The RF signal must be demodulated. Corrosion at a connection can create a diode which provides the demodulation. So, clean all your connections.

I have never experienced the RFI problem except long ago with a turntable/phono (high gain) connection. I have experimented with trying to induce the problem using cordless phones and cell phones activated just inches away from the audio equipment, but I hear no effect.
