Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?

Brent Jessee sells high quality tubes. The catch is you must request noise testing; it's $10 per pair I believe. 
Depending on the circuit in your component you may need to use low-noise tubes. I only buy noise tested NOS tubes.

Andy at Vintage Tube Services includes testing for noise and microphonics, Upscale does as well.

Thanks. But like at Tube depot, they have an incremental charge of $4 for "Low Noise & Microphonics" which based on your description would seem to be binary or incompatible....? Is this a good option to choose ?

And next, when we use the term quiet or noisy are we talking solely about the hiss in the speaker drivers ? Really a nob question 😞

" By wary of any tube seller that uses the term: "NOS in white boxes". Much more common with JAN tubes that were bulk packed, this term usually means that the tube tests as NOS and comes in a white box. Not the same thing. "

Help me understand why you think you need to be wary of NOS in white boxes from reputable tube dealers. I’ve had a NOS NIB RCA 12ax7 fail, and just had a New Production Psvane KT88 NIB fail after 300 hours. Any tube can fail regardless how they were packaged.

Most likely, if it’s shipped in a white box, it isn’t New Old Stock. Rather, it’s a used tube in a plain white box.

Some tubes were shipped new by the manufacturer in bulk without an individual box, but they’re the exception.

As far as the QS is concerned, my
previous was a Schiit SYS. So while I think the QS sounds good I don’t have any frame of reference. The high gain of the Odyssey made the Sys seem logical (though it was a stop gap). The SYS. Worked well and sounded fine. In the Odyssey forums it seems most pair with tube preamps and I wanted to get into tubes (the QS is my first piece of tube gear) so I guess I’ve been lucky until now. I would like to make my next purchase a tube phono stage and maybe even add a tube amplifier as an alternate. But maybe I’m not ready or have enough electronics knowledge.
I suffer from anxiety while also working 1 full time and 2 part time jobs. So when I can’t just take a couple hours and spin a few sides I get nuts. I’ve been lucky up to this point so I’ve leaned a lot. 
As an aside, anyone who upgraded from Quicksilver line stage I’d be curious as to what you upgraded to.
