Ferrite Chokes on ALL pwer cables-bad?

I have installed probably eight Ferrite Chokes on my power cords as a effort to lower the noise floor as much as possible. After installing the chokes the system did quite down slightly, however I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, but the sound may be a bit muffled. My system does use an AC enhancer and the chokes are installed as close to the power input as possible. Your thoughts?
Thanks,

I have a dedicated line for my system, high quality Hospital grade isolated ground outlet. I'm thinking, as I have a power conditioner that all my gear plugs into, to start over and observe one at a time as I add chokes which ones help vs which ones don't. Thanks!

MY IC's, with the exception of my Digital IC are all unshielded; Kimber KS1021 and Silver streak.

I removed all of the chokes and the sound improved a great deal, I'm not sure why I installed them in the first place.

Thank you to everyone :)
