I was buying tubes for high end amps and preamps in the 70s, and my experience was that Amperex—a darling of NOS folks now—was often noisy. Talking preamp tubes; I never had to replace any power tubes during that time. I found Mullard to be the most euphonic, Telefunken to be the most reliable. Lately, I like JJs, for both preamp tubes and KT88s. But I also buy NOS EL84s, Ei Yugos, from RAMTUBES, as well as some preamp tubes, and I like those a lot.
