What is your complete tube compliment?
Rolling tubes are your easiest and most bang for the buck upgrade.
If your budget doesn't allow for NOS tubes, I would go SS, with one of Nelson Pass'es designs.
Hidden weaknesses: RCA plugs and jacks, poor pots, cheap coupling caps.
Too much metal and all man-made dielectrics. Stick with natural silk or organic cotton. Any plated wire or terminators. Copper is difficult to maintain in humid climates. When copper oxidizes it produces copper sulfate, a non conductor.
When silver oxides it produces silver oxide, which is a better conductor than pure silver.
