i have moved my hifi as i am decorating the house,,and plugged the cdt and dac and headphone amp into the sockets in the kitchen
now i dont know but why does it sound a lot better in the kitchen, and think its all down to the cooker outlet that has thicker cables run straight to it and not a ring main i am now thinking of running spur straight from the mains,, also my father now 70yrs old who was an electrican thinks am nuts as he does not agree anything about cables,-- any thougths welcome on this so i can show him i am not alone thinking mains cable may have an effect on hifi sound..

You talk of moving your CD etc into the kitchen, but have you also moved your speakers into the kitchen? Could this be down to the different room's accoustics?

40A cable does sound better than 20A ring main cable.
Also having a single spur. (as you have found out)

If your proposed Spur runs near to other cables it will be better if you use shielded 40A wiring.

If the speakers are still in the livingroom could it be a case of the empty room as you decorate has different accoustics?

I have also found in the past that a good clean and pulling plugs out and pushing them back in can make a difference. I assume you did that to move the amp etc.

I am not a closed mind to the mains being a cause of good/bad sound, but I do think it is the least important factor.
