So long as the relays are of good quality and meet safety code for use in a power line circuit, I see no problem with them.

If you are talking about (for example) wifi power switches, or other designed for pupose kit, they will be absolutely fine and have no influence on sound quality.

Just as power cables, fuses, power outlets etc have no influence.
