I too use ferrites on all other components plugged into my power grid, excepting the actual audio components. It certainly cuts down on the RF noise generated by such things as lamps and other household appliances.

I came across the need when I started using a 1/2 HP compressor for my air bearing arm. Despite being placed on a totally separate breaker, every time the compressor kicked on I hear an unpleasant thump in the main system. No amount of filtering of the main system could eliminate that thump, until I placed a simple PLC on the compressor line itself. That cured any noise and brought forth the issue of filtering every thing else on the power grid: more expensive, but more effective.
