To me, sounds like an amplifier fault. You want the power supply in your amp to deal with this.
I once bought a DIY valve amp from someone, massive two box thing. Every time the fridge thermostat ticked over, you heard it out of the speakers. I bought a Meridian amp and this problem simply didn't exist (in the same house, with the same wiring and fridge).
To be on the safe side, when I had this place rewired I had a separate circuit put in for the hifi.

We thought this was done when we moved in also (in 1991) but seeing the rest of the job done by my FiL's gang, I'm guessing they fucked up that as well.

Yes, any decent power supply and most indecent ones should be able to suppress simple domestic motor switching transients.

Further to this issue, I don't think it's actually the stereo itself, unless it's extra sensitive because the pops always happen in relation to other things happening in the house, like when then the furnace or drain pump or fridge start/stop. So basically I think our house is wired badly, or improperly grounded. To be clear, it didn't start after the repair, it just seemed to happen with more regularity and volume. We also switched receivers, with the HK now upstairs and the NAD down in the vault.
