Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

My power supply fluctuates between 224 - 238 volts in a day

Even then I find that my system sounds best without any powerline conditioner and without any aftermarket powercords. Power supply is a multi-faceted problem, so no one AC tweak can really solve the problem. I can still hear differences throughout a day, but I really don't want to have to put up with other sonic abberations that come with powerline conditioning.

I have used the Shunyata King Cobra v2 on the SACD player and 2 sets of Viper V2 on the amps. For a whole year, I wasn't happy. When I reverted back to stock powercord and plugged everything directly to the wall, they sound positively better. I have also verified this on different systems at different locations, in different countries, including in one major SACD manufacturer's HQ. These Powersnakes products simply kills the sound. I should have listened to Dan Agnanos, the guy who designed my speakers before I splashed the money on the Powersnakes. But, one always have to learn things the hard way. Dan, BTW is using the DAC-8 with a Meitnerised SCD-1.
