Tubes for Antique Sound Lab 1009

ASL 1009 owners, I'm looking for some ideas on new tubes (over stock chinese tubes) for my ASL 1009. Thanks.

What kind of improvements do one expect from changing to VCaps?

On the VH Audio website, the picture of the V-cap shows red and green wire on each end. The ASL 1009 shows white and yellow wires to the existing caps. Do the wires on the V-cap and amp have to match or it does not matter? What is a good way to hold the V-caps down?
