would someone, maybe river, be able to explain what i should be looking for or what the goal is when choosing replacement tubes?

i have an adl 600, an MPA gold, and a dbx 386...........i just got the last 2 like probably 2 days ago...the MPA gold sounds similar to my adl600 but not as much depth and not nearly the silence, the MPA gold is quite noisy comparatively.

the dbx 386 sounds pretty good as is, not too noisy...

so i'd be first interested in upgrading the tubes of the MPA gold, then adl 600, etc...

i really know nothing about tubes, but i did replace the tube in my presonus buetube with a chinese groove tubes 12ax7 that was toted as good for bass guitar and i would say yeah its pretty good, fairly ampeg'ish actually.

is the model what is important? like 12ax7, or what are the factors in dealing with tubes?
