Okay, so I replaced the power and anode/cathode resistors, added decoupling caps for the driver tubes and before those did some cathode bypass cap rolling.
Also re-soldered the Miflexes with 3% silver solder.
With the cathode bypass caps I tried Elna Silmic RFS 1000uf 50v and Nichicon KZ 1000uf 50v. Both with the same Kemet/Rifa 0.1uf 220v bypass added.
Both of the 1000uf caps sounded worse than the 470uf Nichicon KZ. The 470uf had clearly more bass slam and dynamics than the larger capacities. The Elna had better mids but less bass slam than the 1000uf KZ. Did about one week of burn in on both of the larger caps and there was almost no change in sound in them. The 470uf KZ had had a clearly perceivable gradual change during burn in. So I got tired and put them back in.
For the power resistors used the Mills 330ohm 5Ws. Most of the brands/products that were recommended on the first page for the anode/cathode positions were not available so I used Kiwame resistors for those since they seemed to be both highly rated and affordable and could not find any descriptions of negative experiences with them. used 68K for anode (69K was not availabe) and got three different values to try for the cathode position, which were 1k, 470 and 390. The 1k sounded very flat and the 390 had very low amount of bass, but the 470 brought a clear improvement in dynamics and detail. Would be interesting to try the next two values, which would be 510 and 430.
EDIT: Saw some old posts that stated that the impedance of headphones used would have an effect on the correct value here. Mine are modded Monolith M1060Cs whose rated impedance is 18 ohm.
The old power resistors were in good condition. There were some other resistors which had discoloration though:
Those four stacked resistors at the top which are near the power capacitors. Are there any recommendations/mods as to how those should be replaced?
The driver tube decoupling capacitors, where I used the 100uf 500v Wima MKP4s, did have effects on sound. Less noise/distortion, more definition, more nuance. Also the sound seems to have less difference at different volumes. Installed those just two days ago though so they're probably still burning in. Will need to see what happens and also to do more tube rolling. Will try the decoupling caps on power tubes later as well. But first I need to figure out where to put them so that they stay in one place and don't get too hot. I'll probably add one or two more fans to the bottom plate as the rear middle part of the amp can get pretty hot.
The various mods have also changed the way the different tubes sound. Looks like the larger bottle-shaped power tubes have improved the most (Svetlana 6N13S and Shuguang 6N5PJ).
Also tried some 6SN7 tubes after the latest changes and they sounded ok at least. Made me wonder if there is some way to "optimize" the amp for 6SN7's by changing the resistor values.
