Being an on again, off again Tube user,If there is anything I've picked up
it would probably be that the determining factor for Tube life is how conservatively or aggressively the circuit they're placed into is going
to "drive" the tubes.
If you've moved into the world of using NOS Tubes, I can't imagine anyone looking to run the tubes in a design that does'nt run the tubes conservatively as the wonderful sound characteristics don't need a "boost" from the circuit to "strut their stuff" (Now here is where I will attempt to not make too much of a fool of myself)
I'm hoping my current little E84L/CV4034 Headphone amp "runs" the tubes on the conservative side. I guess I should stockpile a few Siemens & Brimar to play it safe though. Will using the Novib socket savers affect tube performance negatively ?

There's no reason to settle for "hoping".
Get a multimeter and find out.

You are absolutely right , unfortunately , measuring things was one of the skills
that II've never acquired, electrical anyway.
Give me a set of callipers to check the thickness a piece of spruce for a guitar top I can do.
Take electronic measurement ? That's not among my skill set.
