Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
With mono block power amps and 3 foot speaker cables , mine can't reach the floor . 
Upgrade Speaker Cables or Interconnects

Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?
I have a 6SN7 tube preamp and after trying several NOS American tubes I hit on Psvane 6SN7's . Their black base model is available at a pretty fair price and should please you , IMO .None of the older tubes came close .

Audioquest vs. Others

Listen to goldengreek51 . He is correct .Analysis Plus' Big Silver Oval speaker cables deliver what you desire . Your speakers are rated -7dB @  35Hz ,so you will not get more power out of them , but their full impulse response will be revealed fo... 
Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement
The green Sound Improvement Disc makes a noticeable improvement in the sound from a CD,DVD, and Blu Ray disc . If you can try trimming said discs with a CD edge trimmer like the Audio Desk Systeme lathe you will hear another level of improvement  ... 
Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter?
