6sn7 octals are well known to be quite prone to microphonics, so i can understand your struggles... furthermore there are really old ones out there, luscious sounding but not made very robustly, so even shipping them can make them noisy
have patience, perseverance, you have to go through quite a few to find ones that work really well and are dead quiet... worth it though, in my experience
the way good 6sl7/6sn7's flesh out a soundstage is very intoxicatingly lovely
