What's the source before the amp? Whether CD player, streamer, turntable or whatever, there are better and worse sources.
Also, have you had the amp's tubes tested lately? Tubes, especially power output tubes, deteriorate with age. A set of power output tubes like the KT88 may start going downhill at 1,500 to 2,000 hours, and will sometimes fail before that. Preamp and driver tubes typically last much longer but don't have the near infinite lifespan of solid state gear. I used to have tube amps and ended up buying my own tube testing meter so I could check things out regularly.
