RE: Could I suggest that instead of tube-rolling you improve the PSUadd

This is pretty new to me -- I'm comfortable switching out tubes but if it involves soldering etc I'd hate to screw up a nice piece of equipment (without any experience doing the work). Is it likely Cary wouldn't have done a pretty good job with the power supply? If it would really improve performance and does require tools/expertise I don't have, any recommendations for where to go?
