Maybe 3-phase, full-wave rectification is the way to go? PFC is too complicated and involves feedback loops (Boo! Hiss!) so it must sound bad.
Agree, but the mains cables can only supply power as good as is fed into them. Maybe there's room for an Audiophile Energy Supplier, one whose electricity comes only from nuclear reactors fuelled by magnetically treated, oxygen-free, enriched uranium? Or pulverised, re-crystallised, cryo-treated coal? The thought of random pressure fluctuations in the boilers affecting the supply's source impedance scares the hell out of me!

I'm suddenly wondering if that will be shown to be the cause of the B737 crashes, not using grain-oriented, oxygen-free, cryogenically treated, lead-overwound cables and connectors for the digital fly-by-wire signals?
