But also be wary it could be a problem with phone/pre, particularly that tube socket. I had been rolling tubes once and unknowingly pushed a socket solder joint over the edge. Drove me crazy because I went from experimenting with sound to "why are my tubes failing?" Luckily I spotted a spark across one of the connections. Benefit of listening in the dark! Soldering fixed it. Problem gone.
So keep an eye on the pre-amp just in case. Might want to avoid expensive tubes until your sure.
Cheers!
