You've done a lot of work and the dedicated lines are a great addition - one I don't have the bucks to do myself!
So here's the scoop from my experience (and I'm not a bigshot here at all):
1) You may get further improvement from higher end audio outlets, such as the Oyaide. The MRI grade is about the best you can get on the P&S and no slouch. But consider trying an R1. This is top drawer IME.
2) YOu will be startled by how much improvement you can gain for relatively little money using Alan Maher's CBF line starting at your breaker box. You can run a lot of these in many places (topping components, strapped to plugs into outlets, on unused outlets, etc.) This is probably the first thing I'd try with your situation and buy a few if you can, following Alan's heirarchy of placement. I cannot recommend Alan's CBFs highly enough!
3) You will also be quite amazed at what R-C parallel filtering can do. Sounds as though you do have the DIY knowledge to try these. They're inexpensive and not hard to mock up. I've found that even with lower priced/quality pieces, they still do an excellent job in my system. No loss of dynamics, great RFI filtering, no fuss no muss, and if you can't do the DIY, try Alan Maher's manufactured lines (more expensive).
Believe me, the above is likely to work well without your breaking down the whole breaker box.
