You might get stuck in your listening chair forever!
For me, going from 70wpc stereo to 100wpc monos made a BIG difference. Teflons sound like a good idea to try. Might be interesting to try to jury rig a switch to allow you to switch back and forth because when the teflons finally break in you will have long forgotten what the jensens sounded like. Of course the difference may be obvious. I would like to know which you preferred, as I have same jensens in my cary. Even Cary says upgrade to the oil/coppers.
What are your speakers, Bunky? If they are hungry, not sharing the power transformer will be noticeable improvement. You could also try biamping for kicks before you break out the soldering iron.
Be sure to show us a pic when you get all 24 tubes glowing. 16 vintage 6sn7s might need a credit card upgrade too. haha
