Well, other than (I"m dating myself) upgrading from DCM Time WIndows to Quad ESLs, in my long life, the most dramatic sonic upgrade occurred when I added an Audioquest Niagara 5000 power conditioner / reservoir. I expected modest improvements, but the difference was mind-boggling.
My house is completely solar powered, so in retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have been surprised. Consumer PV inverters are notoriously noisy.
