Audio Research VT100 upgrade to VT100 MKII

I have a VT100 pairing with SP6C. I feel the bass is not as deep as SS amp I used before. VT100MKII has doubled power supply caps which I think it will help the bass. Does any one know to upgrade VT100 to VT100 MKII? I am thinking about DIY.

Thank you for all your replies. I don't know how big the difference between VT100 and VT100 MKIII, or VT100 vs. VS115? There are not a lot of positive feedback on VT100, but I heard good things for VT100 MKII/MKIII. I feel comfortable on biasing VT100. If there is not a big difference, i'd rather keep VT100. Do you think NOS driver tube on VT100 can significant improve the SQ on VT100?

I would ask Kal for his advice. Kal is ARC's customer service rep and is very helpful. I am sure Kal can guide you to make a good decision that will make a lot of sense froma cost-benefit perspective. I just spoke to him today about a different ARC component. He was very helpful.
