Agree...

Yes, I did pretty much the same; three ground rods in an array (looking into the stuff that replaces the soil around the rods for a better ground) and 10 gauge runs from a dedicated, 60A sub-panel. In addition, I have individual custom power conditioners with DC blockers, ground filtration and AC filtering on each component (got many good ideas from the Felix Project thread over on Audiocircle). Still, at certain times of the day, the line harmonic distortion rises to over 6% which causes problems. I tried working with our utility to no avail. Now working though the state corporation commission to get this issue resolved.

If I had the money, I would replace the sub-panel with a giant balanced power solution like you find in the best recording studios.

Unless you are generating your own power, there are multiple solutions that will give you incremental improvements. For those doing nothing, the EP 2050 would be a great way to start. This whole house solution will protect all your appliances as well as improving the performance of all your home entertainment systems.
