Dimmer switch hell !!

Is there any help for those of us cursed with having to live with a dimmer switch on the circuit?? I'm experiencing noise from the bulbs ( halogen spot and flood), as well as a slight hum from my amp ( tube ). I suspect there is some DC voltage being introduced onto the line, along with RFI.

I called Lutron, who are a leading dimmer manufacturer, and they acknowledged their product will leak some DC to the lines. All I got from them was that their best product in terms of noise filtration was their architect series ( Vareo, I believe ), but no other solution, short of putting in a standard on/off switch.

Any other product or ideas that are practical that would provide some light control, but be less disruptive tothe music.

TIA
