Of the 8 tubes I've purchased - claimed as tested matched quads (1) or pairs (2) - all but 2 have been either prohibitively noisy, or just didn't pass a clean signal. From my (admittedly small) sample, there has been no quality differences between the well-respected companies selling NOS tubes vs. people selling used stuff on eBay.Always request noise testing when purchasing NOS tubes. It's an extra step in the dealer's tube testing, but worth it. Brent charges $10 for this service. Andy tests every tube for noise and microphonics, so does Upscale.
Once your Freya is broken in with stock tubes, you'll have a better idea what sonic signature you're looking for from the many brands and tube types.
