I stayed on the grid.
I couldn't afford to sell my system at a loss and buy new gear.
Instead, I invested $40.00 dollars in some ERS cloths and did a bit of DIY to shield the wires inside my phono stage.
Not as dramatic a change as going to all battery power(I also considered that option a few years back),it has proven to be a beneficial improvement to my sound.
A not cheap tweak that improved my sound yet again, was the addition of a couple of QV2's.
We never had to do anything except plug it into the wall back when I started in audio in the late 70's.
I think cleaning up the power should be the first place to start when you are thinking about changing your gear because you've grown tired of the sound.
