RE: Tube Monoblock Magnepan Advice

The power supply caps are probably just fine. The Clarity caps are coupling caps , and I would definitely invest in upgrading those and upgrading the diodes to hexfreds.
I replaced the main coupling caps in my Rogue Audio stereo 90 to Mundorf Supreme (V-caps would not fit!) and V-caps for the other coupling stages and the diodes to hexfreds. The difference was not subtle. Good caps and diodes are costly and most manufacturers cannot afford to put the goods into amps built to a price point.
If you like the amps this is the most cost effective upgrade you can make IMO. New amps that are significantly better will cost thousands more.
Highly recommended.
