Wall voltages alter tone

Hi all at 18watt,
Maybe you made the same experience:
You play and enjoy your tone. Your tone couldn't be better. On the other day you start to play, but what happened? Although you changed nothing, now the sound is much different than the day before. The tone is kind of harsh, sterile or unmusical. This happened so many times to me and sometimes I believe, it's me and not the amp. But it's not my ears or mood, it should be the change in voltages. In my place it changes between 220 and 240 V. But I never measured the voltages when my sound was great, only enjoyed playing
I got a manual voltage regulator and I try to get my heating voltages to exactly 6.3 V. But it seems to me that gives not the sweet spot in sound.
What's your experience?
I don't have the money, to afford me a power conditioner like the pros. Is there a simpler way?
Thanks a lot
