Marshall dsl 40c mods

[man-in-moon]

I just picked a 40c up today. I know there are ton of mods people do to them. A better speaker and tubes are a given. But I will have to wait a little on those. So what are some cheap easy mods that anyone has tried?
I noticed the C19 model is popular.

c19 was the only one I did when I had the 50W UK DSL and it was great but too loud for my house. but I thought it really made the channels more balanced

I did the C19 nod that helped. As soon as I can I plan on changing the tubes and speaker.

svetlana and the older winged C el34s (new ones are not the same) will give you the most marshally sound
or use the TAD or Chinese el34 to get more treble and bass,
My UK DSL had svetlanas and they had the marshall upper mids in a more vocal way than the Shuguang chinese, TAD (relabled shuguang), and JJ el34s I tried after
