Summer Power Issues

The past few days my system has sounded very harsh and lacking bass impact when listening before 4pm. Between 4 and 5 pm the wonderful sound I’m use to miraculously returns. Guessing this heat wave is putting stress on the grid and screwing up power because I have not experienced this until now. 
 

Does this mean I need a power conditioner? Will that help?

Been looking at the Isotek Aquarius V5 but it’s $3k

However I’ve already invested a lot in my system so Adding one more item that will clean up the power is not out of the question. 
 

Anyone else having this experience?

Any owners of the Isotek?

It's been seeming unreliable, to me, here in Western Pa.  I had my system warming up last night by playing background music while I was preparing a meal and pwer went off--I ran as fast as I could back there and shut off all the switches before it could come back on.  

Tonight I was thinking about listening and power went on/off real quicjk, so I changed my mind and went back there and unplugged everything.  HOT forecasted for tomorrow, T'storms for Sunday, and theoretically it should be nice on Monday.
