The safety ground, while presenting a low impedance to ground for DC, probably presents a rather high impedance to RFI (a noise antenna). One solution that won't violate safety codes would be to install near your stereo a separate ground rod and connect it to your stereo with Litz wire in series with an appropriately sized capacitor. You would leave the safety ground attached. Since the new ground connection is made with a cap. you haven't violated code with a second ground bond and the high frequency crap now has a low impedance path to ground.
