Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Move one of the tubes in the left channel to the right channel....

if the noise follows the tube, thats the bummer. If the noise doesn't move, the remaining tube is the bummer. FWIW its less important to match small tubes, although ideal, in a pre-amp which you are running in unbalanced mode, as long as you are using the same brand of tube. Re - replacing one or both tubes, if the tubes are relatively new (use wise, not callendar wise) I'd only change one, but if they are quite aged I will replace both (and usually in both channels). Middle aged, let your ears determine the need.
