best interconnect at decent price
I've gone through a number of interconnects (and speaker-cables) over the decades, however started to look at inexpensive ones just to try, instead of chasing the elusive absolute-sound  mega-buck cables !  I stumbled upon Audio Envy cables and ha... 
Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
I'm still using the Sophia mesh-plates.  I gave up on the Royal Princess a good while ago.  I am looking for a good replacement for the Princess mesh-plates.  I have heard the Emission-Labs solid plates, not the mesh.  The sound is good but notabl... 
Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
Yes...  The Sophia mesh-plates are really as you say, a hole-punched piece of metal rather than a true woven mesh. They do sound good however but also run at about max for a mesh-plate.  They lasted fairly well but I don't like that one I got had ... 
Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
Thanks for this information.  I have heard the Emission-Labs 300-B (not the XLS variant) and they sound good however not as good (in my opinion) as my Sophia Princess mesh-plates tubes.  I'm looking for a substitute, as I believe I'm on borrowed t... 
Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ?
Here here !  Most 300-B tubes I have tried sound good.  The subtle differences are in the Mfg and elements used I believe.  As for the amps, yes...  the PSU's and other components (ie...  transformers) help make up or color the sound.  I have a Bo...

Thanks to all of you so far with your supportive comments...  I think that music-reproduction quality is definitely in the ears of the beholder.  No one has said positive things about Sophia's reliability, so I'll keep steering clear of their prod... 
Pass Labs
I have listened to First-Watt J2 and SIT-2 in comparison on my system with fairly-efficient speakers (Living-Voice OBX-RW 6-ohms 93-db) and both are very good sounding amps.  The SIT-2 IMHO is the best sounding solid-state amp I've ever heard on m... 
Speaker cables if your amp isn't between your speakers
Another really terrific speaker cable is the Audio-Envy NV-SP5.  Very reasonable price and notably improved the sound of my system.  The owner (Captain) is very easy to work with and has a I believe 45-day return policy if not happy with them.  Th... 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
This is a little long so please bear with me.  This is a tough call as many above have stated with their choices.  Personal preference drives this, however there are differences that I've found but not what I'd consider jaw-dropping.  I went throu... 
Inexpensive speaker cables
I've tried a number of cables over the years, all with their own unique sonic-signature.  I try to steer-clear of cables with higher capacitance in general  as they seem to roll-off the treble.  That said, I have to agree with gdnrbob and nonoise ...
