You should work with a reputable dealer and request low-noise and low microphonic matched tubes. The quality and noise level of a 6SN7 can vary greatly, but the right tube will provide wonderful sonics in a preamp.
I mentioned a power conditioner for your sources since noise from the AC line will also be audible thru your speakers. This is not hiss, but every line connected to the power grid will introduce noise into the system (even a dedicated line).
