Go with the BEST sounding new production tube you can find, then...
Call a 'reputable' new tube dealer and have them hand select the QUIETEST tubes of that brand from their stock.
The 6SN7 is a low gain tube and I would doubt any good tube would be so noisy as to be detectable even with horns.
Power amps add a bit of gain and it THEY are noisy, game over. :-(
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
