@Filian - there is more factual info and less sneering on the Naim site, where i have asked the same question, but people here (even some pretty sceptical ones) have made some useful comments here too.
I agree that, biased though we are, that ears are the arbiter of what I am hearing, even if not of what a perfect ear would be hearing. Fortunately, there are entire threads available to discuss all aspects of the Subjectivist/ Objectivist debate.
The most specific suggestion so far is to sort a dedicated mains sure before considering changing the Hydra and 6-way power block from Grahams with anything else and before considering Powerlines. I am advised to call a decent engineer and ask about: -

- 10mm SWA Armoured Cable T+E (Stranded) to be run from front of house (living room), to side of house (Kitchen). May need trenching
- Going to a double socket flush mounted (MK Logic Plus, Un-switched) - A deep wall box may help here
- Separate Hager or MK Metal Consumer Unit with C curve 32Amp 30mA RCBO, getting power from splitting tails as they come in from the meter via Henley Block. (C curve because of toroidal transformers)
- Earth is extremely important, so must go back to incoming house earth block from the new CU.
- SWA Steel outer wire not to be connected at remote Socket end
- New CU to be fed from a Henley Block off the main house input (not from the old CU)
- Minor Works test and completion certificate
