Ferrite Chokes on ALL pwer cables-bad?

I have installed probably eight Ferrite Chokes on my power cords as a effort to lower the noise floor as much as possible. After installing the chokes the system did quite down slightly, however I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, but the sound may be a bit muffled. My system does use an AC enhancer and the chokes are installed as close to the power input as possible. Your thoughts?
Thanks,

Just found this discussion while searching out a problem I'm having with some old MIT Z-Cord IIs...with two very different pieces of gear!

With both a PreSonus 16.4.2 digital mixer and an Onkyo Integra Research RDC-7 surround preamp, simply using the MIT power cord introduces a distinct digital glare to the high frequencies.

Anyone else notice a glare from ferrite-choked AC cords?!

I can make the noise come back simply swapping out the PS Audio power cords for these older MIT ones...
