I've experimented quite a bit with better quality plugs and sockets over the years. Results can be a little patchy sometimes and, as these things tend not to be too cheap it is very easy to become disallusioned.
The one brand that seems to give consistently good results is the Furutech series .... Once you have navigated the vast, and to be honest, quite confusing range of products you can replace connections all the way from the wall socket, right through to the socket on the back of your amp/cd etc.
The easiest to replace is the mains plug .. and straight away the sound becomes more focused and together. As you go up the range definition and soundstage are quite radically improved too.
The surprising thing to me was that replacing the IEC plug gave similar results. ...and then changing the IEC socket on the back of my amp did the same again! I havent played with the Furutech wall sockets yet .... but I think its going to be just as impressive
.... I've added some more IEC plugs to the site
