Whats the right time to change tubes,..

in terms of how 'off' the quipment needs to be? I had a pair of Siemens 5814as that I wasn't happy with in my CD player so I decided to go back to the Mullard CV4003s. I had the cover off so the player was only on standby when I swapped the tubes out. Is this likely to have caused any problems, because I swear the sound has deteriorated since I had the Mullards in before? It's quite subtle, but things seems to sound flatter, and there isn't anything else that I've changed. Or, could the advanced stages of audio-nervosa now be setting in, wherein almost nothing will please me any more and all music will sound 'off' and irritating in one way or another?
