Yeah, I know the problem.
Unfortunately, many of the better SETs are expensive and specs don't really help. And there are plenty of variables, a noisy tube or as Chip mentioned, a poor match with the preamp.
I was fighting some hum for months and finally replaced all my preamp tubes and then had to swap 6922s a few times to get the right mix. Beware that any recommendation might not work for you.
How does the system sound with your old amp or a SS amp? Is it quiet?
