Two 12AX7 preamp tubes. The stock ones are 12AX7R2 (R means russian made). Choose whatever type of 12AX7 is appropriate for your sound, unscrew the top, pull out the old tubes, and without touching the new tubes (use a clean towel or something) plug them in.
The reason you do not want to touch the glass of the tube is that if any oil gets on the tube, it will cause uneven heat distribution.

A 12AX7 should last longer than YOU do. There is no noticeable "decline" for a VERY long time.

This is a myth. Touching the glass on tubes doesn't cause them ANY problems.
BTW, my WIFE has huge breasts, and it's NEVER been a problem for me.
My girl has very large breasts. My friends like to look. I never get tired of them. I hope none of my friends are banging my chick. What was the question???
