It may have not been clear from my posts, but I am a very strong proponent of tube equipment, even SET power amps. I do have extensive solid state experience, but when it comes to my own listening, it's tubes all the way when possible. I have heard benefits of capacitor changes in tubed equipment I have modified, especially the two coupling caps from the driver stage to the output grids, where I prefer NOS oil capacitors.
