It is reasonable for musicians to remember about the aspects of the recording chain when they make a recording, and my experience was that the results from a studio using “audiophile” recording equipment was much more satisfactory to reproduce a “live” sound that a studio while did not — this cost a lot of money as we had to take everything to a new studio and completely re-do an album when the original result was quite horrible. 



Further, for all of us as listeners, while we cannot control this “bad electricity” now, we may be able to do so in the future. 



In the same way that we use a different needle for 33 or 78, stereo or mono, etc. when we understand the problem, we can better deal with it. it may be that “bad electricity is a stable and non-random repeatable phenomenon that we can address. Perhaps if we understand it better, we could have a “tone control” to adjust for the electricity of the day or of the day of the recording.



I would be very much interested in the accumulated data of what changes there are to the electrical AC power signal on “good days” versus “bad days.”
