"I am wondering if a SET would be a noticeable/substantial improvement to my current amp."
This is a very difficult question to answer. Within a group of people, you'll likely get some who love SET and hate PP, some who love PP and hate SET, and another group of people in between.
I would be VERY surprised if you didn't HEAR a noticeable difference. Which you would PREFER, or think is an improvement, is another matter. I would urge you to listen to several SET amps before buying one. Even within SET lovers there are those who strongly prefer 2A3s or 45s or 300 Bs: they do sound different!
Personally, I usually prefer SETs but I've also heard PP EL84 amps that I really liked.
Good luck!
