Neighbors CB. CBer using a high powered linear amplifier? This is a tough issue. Common capacitor bypassing at the effected gear to remove the interference is not good for a pristine audio signal. Are all cable connections tight? Bad solder connection in the amp? Poor connections act like a diode to RF and will demodulate AM on the CB transmitter carrier.

Unlikely the signal is getting into the audio gear via the power cord, but a pair of .01 @ 1000VDC ceramic caps may help across the hot & neutral with each cap to the ground wire. No ground wire? The chassis may float up to 60 volts above ground with current in the micro amp range.
