Stabilizing your VAC is very important. If it's all over as you said. I can't think of anything more important for expensive equipment. It will shorten the life there is no doubt. Whether it sounds better depends on what your filtering out, and letting in so to speak... Different outlets on many maintainers and cleaners do different things. If you plug into the wrong one, it can impair the performance of a given piece.
Normally to filter HF, 40KHz> they use iron ferrite rings. Some complain that while using those rings, some systems lack luster, lose dynamics and brilliance. I've noticed any source I use sounds better when NOT having ferrite rings in the VAC pathway.. I try to stay out of trouble, not get out of it.
No voltage cleaner and maintainer is a sure way to ruin great equipment. Whether it improves SQ, is just a secondary benefit, longevity it their primary function. I can't see how your SQ wouldn't improve if your just plugged into the wall currently.
My SQ was improved 35 years ago, I never thought of NOT using a cleaner/maintainer. Even my plate amps amps have them.
NOT surge suppressors, maintainers/cleaners and suppressors.
They don't have to cost a fortune to do a great job.. Just might have to do a couple thing to make them quieter, or pay a fortune for someone else to do it for you.. Either, Or.. as long as you have something...
