"Does it matter?"

As said below, all tubes have some microphonics. It's just a question of how bad.

I've had tubes so microphonic that they caused accoustic feedback. Obviously, that is unacceptable. Also, severly microphonic tubes can cause distortion when low frequencies from the music excite the microphonics.
