I had already modified the power strip by running heavy gauge romex through the various AC outlets. Theoretically, there shouldn't have been an effect. But one large monoblock upstream can drain voltage for the components downstream.

I noted this when installing a dedicated line for my first system. I simply hooked it up to the bottom of the panel box and was a bit underwhelmed by any change in sound. After a few weeks it occurred to me that perhaps moving the dedicated line closer to the input wiring may help a bit and was very surprised to hear the difference in sound, particularly as now the dedicated line was in advance of such things as the heater and stove, etc.

As far as segregation of components are concerned, I like to keep all my video, digital and motor components at least a tier away from the analog only components. The RF generated by such components tends to bleed back into the power grid. OF course, YMMV.
