Putting vintage tubes in the power supply of pre

any thoughts on using vintage tubes in the power supply section of a preamp instead of the supplied new tubes..will it improve the sound..my rig is a 2 box..power supply section is separate from the ls.

The voltage in the power supply is what makes the "sound" that you hear, technically speaking. Any change there affects everything because it dictates how the circuit operates. What am I missing?
