Thank you for the responses, I have not replied untill now so I had a chance to carry out some of the suggestions from posts to the thread (some of which seem to have disappeared?) and get the electrican back.
Anyway cleaned all the connections with contact cleaner, checked tightness of connections and the electrician checked continuity and impedence. Also the dedicated circuit is now directly connected to the incoming mains supply. Ran the system for a couple of days and things did improve.
As a final possible improvement I replaced the house main fuse (the end caps were quite tarnished) and cleaned the fuse container/contacts. This seems to have brought about a noticable improvement over the original sound quality.
I don’t think it is my imagineation but some often played tracks have greater clarity and tighter bass.
