 Because a 12AX7 (ECC83) made by ICC and an identical 12AXY (ECC83) 
 made by
 Telefunken makes ALL the difference. 

 Mmm.  To the gold-plated speaker cable brigade, perhaps. 
But I think the reason the cable makes a difference is you got all the feed
back in  a transistor amp ( less in a valve ) and any noise on the speaker
cables like ac hum? and other noise will get fed back to the amp
