Trying to add-on shielding is not going to be very cost effective or easy. Running a new dedicated line is an option, and along with any shielding that you might get from a steel (not recommended personally), or aluminum (OK, but not as effective as copper braid for the frequencies involved) sheath.Most of the benefit would probably come from using a larger wire, say 12 gauge or 10 gauge, and a really good AC wall outlet, Hubbell, Pass & Seymour, etc.
The wiring in the wall is not as big of a deal as the power cord, because, ....it is in the wall, away from the other power cords and the audio signal cables.
It just depends on how far you are willing to go to assure the ultimate, and how this fits in with th rest of the system and the current level of system sophistication.
