Am I hearing the effects of "clean sound"?

Recently,the weather down here in South Florida has been-in a nutshell-perfect.
Not too hot, not to cold, low humidity, nice breeze.
With this type of weather, there's not a need for us Floridians to crank up the ac.
Leaving the windows open does the job.
When I arrived home Saturday night after watching some football with some friends both my wife and son were asleep and my daughter was staying over a friends so of course it was time to crank up the system.
What I heard set me back in a very good way.
Music flowed effortlessly and clear.
Probably the biggest improvement I heard was a lack of grit, if you will, with the music.
Presence was stronger without any rolled-off highs.
It sounded nice!
Do you think that because of the "cleaner" lines and also it was somewhat late, around 11:30 or so, that the music was some what "cleaned up"?
Is this what one could possibly hear with dedicated lines?
As always, thanks for your input.

Definitely. You are describing the effects of cleaner power to your rig.

In my case I got it by adding power conditioning and cables (a full-house Shunyata setup with Hydra 4 and Anaconda and Python cables) rather than by a dedicated line, but the effect should be the same.

As you say, a less fatiguing, less gritty sound. With cleaned-up power you can have it at any time of day.

Maybe.

If that's what you think, take charge of your own destiny and try some power conditioning with your system and see for sure if it makes a difference. it very well might if no power conditioning is in place currently.
