Thanks, Steve. I struggle with this - I understand that the shotgun approach to replacing components is usually overkill. I can follow some circuitry, and understand the concept of audio signal flow(and the idea that upstream component replacement can have a much greater effect), but it's not always easy for me to determine if a given component will affect the sound just by looking at the schematic. I have a wonderful Hakko desoldering gun that makes extremely quick work of removing components, and given the cost of most of them, the work involved to replace all of them is arguably less than that of trying to determine a) if a given component actually needs to be replaced or b) if replacing it is likely to result in an improvement. Not to mention, replacing everything now, with new, modern components, is likely to result in a massively extended life for the amp as a whole, something I would hope my grandchildren would thank me for.

I should probably just start a separate thread for this, but while we're on the subject: what sort of non-electrolytic caps should be used in these boards. I've got plenty of electrolytics, but it's the others I'd need to get. What type of non-electrolytic caps should I look for?
