Hi, rolling output tubes might give you a slight sonic difference but probably not much. If you have not rebuilt your amp it would be the one biggest difference you can make. The power supply could definitely be improved with using film caps instead of electrolytics and adding another choke to make it capacitor-choke-capacitor-choke-capacitor. This would also help to reduce the B+ if it is much higher than specified. Gains would be a faster more dynamic sound with a quieter background. cheers, Dak
