New tubes for SFL-1 / SFS40

Hello,
I'm thinking of replacing some tubes for both my amp / preamp. Currently, the system doesn't sound "tubey."
I heard the nature of SFL-1 isn't very tubey...but I am
hoping that replacing some tubes on both pre/poweramp will
give me the "tubey" sound that I'm looking for.
Please give me some suggestions on the tubes.

Thank you very much!

Hi Sean,
I know that you wanted to change tubes to get the 'tube' sound, but you may also get a lot of that type of sound by changing the coupling caps. Their are 2 pairs of caps to consider in the SFL-1, and a quad set in the SFS-40. Paper and oil caps may be the ticket for you.
Have fun!
