Phono stage picking up radio signals?


The strangest thing happened this evening. I just hooked up my Whest phono stage and as I was letting it warm up I turned up the volume slightly to check the noise level and noticed a strange noise coming from the speakers. At first I thought it was a ground loop hum or some feedback, but when I put my ear to the speaker I distinctly heard music. I turned up the volume a bit and to my surprise I could hear and identify the song playing, followed shortly after by DJ banter. It was obvious I was picking up a radio station, but I don't have a tuner or any other radio device in the home. Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be going on.

Here is one question I asked the constructor of the Whest PS.20, James Henriot, before I bought the unit:

I have heard some rumours that the PS.20 is sensible to RFI signals.
Since I sometimes have problems with radio signals, I just wonder if this is correct.

Henriot's answer:
The rumours are right but we rectified the problem about 4 months ago and it was found that our loading supplier made the plugs incorrectly.

This was one month ago, and I have had no RFI problems with this unit.
