"So why don't the ones before the meter?"

Those are of a significance as well, But since I don't want to go to jail I do what I can within my territory.
Maybe you should have asked why people deal so much with outlets, plugs, cryo etc'. Power conditioners, stabilizers deal with the whole thing and that should be enough, is it not?
Screened PC's make sense though. So here comes the showerhead theory which I find to be true, otherwise I really can't explain what I am experiencing.
There are plenty of scientific evidence why current behaves like it does even thru the smallest of conductors and same gauges.
BTW there are some crazy videos online of people who installed their dedicated line straight from the neighborhoods transformer, Are they really crazy?

"At the risk of stating the obvious wouldn't working on the PSRR of your system really be the logical approach? If all that incoming stuff matters you probably have a ground loop somewhere or poorly designed gear."

No ground loop here, Trust me.
Most of the power filters I've tried harmed the sound, The ones I borrowed from my sound engineers friends were very good indeed but came with a price tag of $10k and higher.

" I've mulled it over in the past and decided that if I ever become insanely obsessive about the mains that I'd rig-up a motor/alternator in the garage and have a rubber "V" belt between my precious stereo and the philistine power company. Could that be your next step... "

Well, solar power comes to mind ;-) Anyho, I am fortunate to live in a place with a relatively new, clean and stable power supply so it would do for now.
