Won't hurt to use a twisted pair cable between the PS and the rig. If you have the standard DC power cable zip cord just unplug it, twist it up real good, then plug it back in.

You can tell if the noise floor increase is due to increased gain by seeing if 
signals increase in strength along with the noise.

As Don said, OCFs are prone to common mode issues. Perhaps the power supply is 
acting as a ground return for the 'common mode antenna'? A common mode choke on 
the power leads as you suggest might be worth a try.

Regarding clip-ons, remember that at HF you need multiple turns to have a 
noticeable affect. Also make sure they are the correct types of ferrite. The 
K9YC paper deals with that.
