sounds like, as Mitch said, a ground loop is your culprit. Interesting
it only shows up with the Slim device not the CD player - wonder if the
output levels are slightly higher on the CD player, or the power supply
in the CD player was better grounded (was it a 3 pin plug?)

Are all the power leads straight, or are any coiled/twisted (can induce
hum), likewise the lead from squeezebox to the speakers

the other possibility would be interference on the run from the
squeezebox to the speakers...

one quick and easy suggestion is to stick a ferrite core around the
speaker cable (those little blocks you find on power cables and some
USB connectors) ... they're interference sponges ;)

you can also try it round the power line *but* don't ever loop that
lead too tightly or you'll get induction problems that can start with
interference and end up with a fire!
