Anyone spring for one of them pricey speaker cables? Notice much of a difference? I'm tempted to buy an Evidence Siren II, as I love their instrument cables and do notice a difference.

speak for yourself, I wired all my cabinets internally with the same solid core silver wire that I build the speaker cables out of. obviously you don't need to use silver but i like its sound better than copper.
I always match the wire or you are diminshing the improvement from your fancy speaker cables. I will say though that even without the cab internals there is a marked difference when using good speaker cables.

I think I'll leave my '72 stock Vintage marshall cabs alone, thanks. And my '76 blackback cab. And the rest of my cabs.![]()
I guess you beefed up the wires from your output transformer to the speaker jack too, right? Those are awfully small. OMG what about the windings on the transformer?

well my signal chain when i still had a tube amp was silver from pickup to speaker. zephyr pickkups silver in guitar silver in all cables silver in my homebrew amp where it could be used and then the speaker cables.
now im digital where i belong.
i dont really care much for vintage only the best possible sound for which i use an entirely scientific approach.
the vintage cabs reproduce sound so poorly... ill never have to worry about it though as ill never own one.
to each their own though, if it works for you enjoy it!
I do not subscribe to "thats how they used to do it so its better" every single human advancement has come from the desire to improve the existing standards.
