I just bought a new little Laney amp for home, it buzzes less than my
last small amp, but seems to pick up radio signals much more, even
when there is no cable plugged in (and when there is a cable I use
Mogami cables that really do help alot). I've switched outlets, moved
it around, nothing really helps. There is no ground switch either. I
do notice that when I touch the amp, and especially hold the power
cord, it eliminates most of it. So I'm wondering, is there something =

can get, besides a human body, to touch or 'hold' the cord, something
to wrap around it or something that will do the same thing as when a
human hand touches it?

Whats a Laney amp ??

Usually any connect can make a difference, at the speaker, the power c=

inputs, or any other connection. RF filters, RF chokes, grounding, etc=

fix.

Laney is the brand, popular in the UK I guess.

I'm not sure what an RF filter or choke is. I'm not an electrician.
The power cable does have the third prong for ground. I tried
something called a ferite noise surpressor, with no change.
I had a smaller lower quality amp before, still have it actually, it
didn't pick up the radio so much but buzzed really bad. I almost think
the new amp is just doing a better job acting as a true radio, where
as the first one just picked up all the signals and didn't filter the
frequencies out so it was just static. I'm not sure which is worse.

Not very normal to pick up radio STATIONS, usually its maybe one AM stati=
on.
Something may be wrong with the amp. A filter box on the power cord
side might help. Not sure where you tried a ferrite noise surpressor.
Filtering the speaker leads is sometimes required on long speaker cables,
but that should not be your problem.

By filter box, do you mean like the noise surpressor outlets that sit
between the power cable and the regular outlet?

Right. It should an LC filter.
