Poor power in the house

Just moved house and had the electrician come and redo the fuse board and give an overall inspection of the house.

Its ok for normal stuff but my setup - Rega Brio and Planar 3 could do some a nicer supply.

Just wondering what I should be looking at, I see a lot of conversations about power supplies and cables but a bit lost on what I should be looking at.

The power in the house not the power coming to the house

Was thinking of getting the Rega Power cord and the TT PSU, but open to other suggestions, I am based in the UK too.

Thanks

I agree with adding a dedicated line for your audio setup. Have the electrician install this wire to your circuit panel. Your HiFi kit will then be isolated from all other devices and appliances in your house.

You should have surge protection for your components. A whole house unit installed by an electrician may be expensive. You can use a high quality power strip with surge protection for your components.

Adding the TT PSU would be a good upgrade.

Definitely. Aftermarket (audiophile) power cables do make a difference in sonics. But it takes some research and auditioning to find the right cable.
  Check online to see what other Rega amp owners are using. Check the Rega forum.
