Replacing power supply caps are a must. I use Elna Silmic II to replace the old coupling caps for superior sound. SS amps equipped with the older op-amps will perform better with newer op-amps.
I do find tube gear easier to service due to more room under the chassis, no stacked circuit boards, lots of interconnect cables and at times less components overall.
