Dear Narticus,
You really asked an impossible question, because none of us has heard your system and none of us knows what you are after, what it is that you find unsatisfying. My first thought is that you might benefit from eliciting the opinion of a local audiophile friend, preferably someone more advanced than you. Ask him or her to come over for several hours of listening, preferably spread out over several different sessions using a variety of sources and musical genres. Then you and that person can have an intelligent discussion of the most cost-effective ways to improve your sound.
"Anti-cables" were mentioned. Paul Speltz makes them. He is one of the smartest most thoughtful guys in audio. I knew him for years before he got into the business. IMO, his products are very very good for the money and maybe even disregarding cost as a factor. When I don't make my own ICs and speaker cables, I use the ones made by Anti-cable. Far far more neutral than anything ever made by Cardas, for one example, and IMO of course.
Power line conditioners are a pit of snakes. As someone else mentioned you can easily harm the performance of your integrated amp by plugging it in to a PLC that limits current in any way. I would NOT start there.
Slikrik obviously wants attention, and I cannot believe that so many of the responses rewarded him with what he wants. His post should have been deleted on day one.
