I know that, when I moved to a new home, my listening enjoyment was greatly reduced and I thought my new listening room must be the culprit, a hopeless cause. Then one day (a couple sad years later) I was talking to someone at an audio store and he challenged me to try power conditioning, offering a 30 day, unconditional, money-back guarantee.
I took the offer, and it was the most significant upgrade I ever did for my system. The power in my house was so bad that it was ruining my system's sound. I have since upgraded considerably and run dedicated circuits, etc, but continue to use the power conditioning equipment, as most of the problem is probably generated in my own home (motors, computers, plasma TVs, etc.)
You don't have to spend a fortune. Even a $200 Monster Power Bar can have an amazing impact. Try it - from a store that offers a 30 day trial.
BTW - my system is now 100% digital (though it wsn't when I first bought the power conditioner) so don't let anyone tell you digtal has to be fatiguing. No one could possible call my current system fatiguing.
