I would do what I said above with your preamp. Replace the Alps Blue pot with the same value TKD. The potentiometer has a sticker on the back that tells you if it’s 25k, 50k, 100k etc…. Nice step up in resolution and realism. More than replacing a cap. This can be found at Parts Connextion or Hifi Collective. I think the TKD pot costs just under $100 shipped.
Replace those white caps labeled QS behind the tubes, 2 of them, with Vcap Odam 2.2 uf. 600v. If too pricey for you use the Audience XO caps. The Odams are wonderful in every way and a nice step above the Audience. The Odam caps will cost around $100 each. The Audience caps about 1/4 that.
You could replace the 4 - 47uf 500v filter caps with Mundorf M-Lytic HV 500V 2-Lead Single Section Axial cap from Parts Connextion. If the amp is 10 years or older, then consider this upgrade. They cost some $11 each.
