Welcome to the forum! Your adventures in using new production tubes is potentially a great addition to this discussion, as you may have noticed this thread has
almost exclusively revolved around NOS and used vintage tubes. We would love to hear some feedback on new tubes since, as Marty always reminds us, NOS tubes won't be around forever!

Otherwise don't worry about it and just order which ever preamp tubes you want to try.

I would have to say that solarburn is probably right. I've only been rolling tubes for a short time now, so my experience is limited, but V4 does seem to be sensitive to what goes into it. In my amp if it's not a nice stable tube then the amp can get noisy fast...
