Pre-amp tubes dying ?

What are the signs that pre-amp tubes are weak ?

I connected my source/DAC directly into the power amp inputs of my Tube Amp and the bass response was increased exponentially, wondering if the pre-amp tubes could be weak.

first thing if you're in doubt with the tube, try to replace them if you have spare or barrow for the purpose of trouble shooting. if still the same you know its not the tube.
