Actually, I believe in Mint604's theory.
I have often suggested to people that their system problems were not audio component related, but that the wiring in their homes was in need of replacement. After a long period of time, the electrons flowing in the wiring fill the material up, and I definitively believe replacement is warranted. Once this point is reached, regardless of components used and room related tweaking, success is impossible.
In my own case, I have requested the power company to replace the wiring in my neighborhood, as the means to improve my system. Hopefully, they will accommodate me in the very near term.
