piezoelectric crystals placed on power inlets, transformers, or any number of other places absorb high frequency hash on the line, and this ends up having more of an impact on the soundstage and clarity than other forms of interference like AC hum. Topaz works more consistently than quartz and is dirt cheap. A lifetime supply costs about $10.
