May not be just the tubes that are noisy. I have had some noisy pre amps (Schiit, Decware) and changing tubes makes a difference but could never get a black background until I changed to Allnic. Allnic doesn't have any sense of tube bloom, it is very detailed and quiet like solid state but has a sweet almost holographic presentation and a very strong accurate low end. I can turn the volume almost all the way before I hear noise in my speakers. I would never listen at that level. I also found using single ended RCA IC's added to the noise.
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
I have a Quicksilver Line Stage Preamp (12AT7) mated to an Odyssey Khartago Stereo. Overall I like it. Way too much gain but I digress. Weeks after receiving it I rolled in a few different tubes, kinda fun to color the sound signature. I liked rhe RXA black plates I got and those stuck around for more than a year. They started going microphonic and making noises so I ordered another pair (noisy) then another different vendor (blasts of white noise) and another set that arrived today (one is noisy as holy hell and one seems fine).
So where does one order preamp quality tunes that are quiet? Is there something I’m not requesting when ordering? Maybe dump
snd go solid state? I’m trying to be humorous because I’m pissed. Ha.
