New tubes or new preamp?

I have an ARC LS15, and am considering either a set of NOS Amperex tubes, or selling it and getting a new preamp, such as an ARC LS27, or a Modwright LS 38.5.
As I'm unable to compare , what would you advise?.Will NOS tubes give me a preamp that compares with todays current ones, or is it a waste of money?
Thanks

A set of good old stock tubes will change the presentation of your LS-15. I have tubed rolled a few LS-15 and LS-25 WITH VERY NICE RESULTS but if it is a major improvement you seek you should consider moving up to a better preamp of which there are many to look at.
