Thank you guys. Actually my question kinda general. So in conclusion, we can, change the tube of any tube amps but within the same type of tube that is used initially. So, numero uno thing in changing tube is the type only? I suppose there's no other aspects that we have to look at. Wattage? Resistance? Voltage?

el3xtroskyYup! As long as it's the same type, the rest will be up to spec -- so no need to worry about them.
The only thing you'd probably look out for are balanced triodes - since that can make a difference if each stereo channel is fed through different triodes. But to be honest, I'm not sure if that even applies to this particular amp (haven't bothered to read up on this model yet).
Some people also bother with gold pins, high gain, as well as low noise+microphonics. Personally, I find it really hard to hear any perceptible difference from those things (but your ears might be better than mine). As a practical advice, I'd advise you to not bother with those things and just save your money (and sanity) :D

el3xtroskyThis is not a tube amp per se, it is a solid state hybrid amp which uses a valve/tube to “color” the sound. You don’t have to worry about balancing, bias or configuration in any way shape or form. The one tube handles both channels (one side of the tube for each channel).
