Ah, I see, when you got to the shop.grantfidelity.com site

if you click on the Shop by Category/Vacuum Tubes on the left menu

it actually redirects to the Psvane website.

The option on the drop down, towards bottom of page.

This is from their site.

By the time you read to the end, it essentially claims the "best of the best" will last longer and sound better.

I doubt they would sound ~25% better, but if they did last that much longer, fair enough.

Phono and line tubes benefit most from premium selection in my experience. Output tubes shouldn't be as critical, though not familiar with SE power tubes.

Cheers!

    I bought my 2A3 Acme matched pair from Grant. I really appreciated the chance to buy "select" tubes. Have not had any problems with them and break in was a breeze, but my Audio friend in LA had a brutal time with his Acme break in and told me twice that he was going to send them back before they finally settled down. These are the best 2A3s you can buy other than AVVTs and some other that are rare as hen's teeth. If you have a DNA Stratus or Stellaris, A pair of Acmes, a big boy EML rectifier and a RT select 6N1P input tube are all you need.
