AES - AE3 Linestage

I know that there are numerous upgrades that people have made to the original AE-3 linestage. What about the MkII version? Would any of the upgrades done in either the original or DJH versions cary over to the MkII?

I've also run Sylvania GTA's and RCA GTB's but prefer the VT-231's. Good to know that you found tube rolling to be more significant than cap upgrades. Perhaps I'll look into some of the early chrome-domes. Any other suggestions?

They are short bottles with the flashing extending down the side of the tube. The plates are similar in shape to those in my Sylvania VT-231's - I'd describe them as having more of a "T-shape" than being triangular. They are also mounted parallel to one another, rather than being offset like the plates in the Sylvania GTB's.
