It definitely benefits from upgraded tubes, especially the small signal tubes. I also used the GL KT88s which made a smaller but noticeable improvement. I have since moved to Pass 30.8 and like others have mentioned, it makes the Mac sound a bit muddy. Definitely hearing more of the music without sacrificing musicality.
