You cable haters please DO this.
Oh, Sorry. When I hooked it back up the good cables, I plugged them into the same dollar store power bar. Other than my power amp, which went into the wall. Same setup as skinny cables. And, man those skinny cables are sooo much to easier to work ...

Oh Yeah. Forgot about the speakers. They are Tyler Acoustics D2. Older model but still good to my ears. I just did that for fun, not to poke anyone with it. But it wasn't fun to listen for a week..lol. One hour should have been enough.lol. 
Emotiva xpa 2 gen 2 power amp
It's all depends on what quality amp you had before. It is decent,..ok...good bang for buck kind of amp. I never owned one but my buddy use them in HT. 
power cables where do I start?
For me, I always start from pre amp. Others will differ but why not you try it different equipment? Once, I tried power cable and IC on just on right side of my mono amp. It's fun doing that kind of shi*. Lol. 
Faint speaker hiss

Wow...some people must have hours tied up in this thread. War of word. Interesting. 
EL34 equivalent tube types
I also like the GL kt77 the best in new production lines of new tubes. Smooth and clean with good details. It just lacks little punch in lower region, so voice is not as rich as NOS  tubes.  
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
Clear day. Double shotgun. Good enough for me as I am not rich.  
Tubes
I have used few different makers. No name Chinese ones ( horrible), Russian sovtek ( just as horrible, well, maybe little bit better ), now they are the bad ones. I liked reissued genalex 12ax7. If you are going to stick with new reissued tubes, I... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
Dealers should pay per posted word. Lol.

1.5ml..? All I'm thinking is, how much will it soak into to the brush..Lol. how many pairs of IC can you apply on to With just 1.5ml?   
Did I just ruin my amp
I like happy ending. 
Did I just ruin my amp
I would change all el34 tubes with new ones. It’s costly but you said they are junk. Your amp should be ok but if you want to feel little better, open it up and visually check it over, especially little resisters for off colors. Replace them tubes...
