Whoa Spoiled! At least you can afford pb&j's. PB is nearly $4 here, so I am stuck eating nothing but eggs.

You both eat like kings.  Ramen Noodles, Baby!!!
 
When I was in college and Hi Spot had hamburgers for a quarter each, we'd buy 20 and freeze what we didn't eat.

 
Back to our regularly scheduled programming...roll, roll, roll your....

So I have some GE's and JJ's from Schiit, as well as some Sylvania's and some RCA 6BQ7A's and these http://www.tubemonger.com/MPs_MINT_NOS_Ei_PCC88_1968_Lorenz_SEL_Falcon_logo_p/801.htm
 
What should I try next, I'm looking to lift a veil 

 
I would really only like to spend like 120 USD max, maybe I could find something from Brent Jesse?

You could try out the black plates or clear tops. Maybe stretch that budget out a bit more for some Siemens or Mullards.
I've also heard some good results with the Tungsram.

Idk Brent Jesse has some pretty narley tubes for sale for around 150-170 I think I'm gonna give him a call and see what he's still got in stock cause Idk how updated his site is.

Try these:
 
http://www.audiotubes.com/audtube.htm
 
Scroll down left hand column ,until you see:
6CG7/6FQ7--RCA clear plates-Matched pair
These run $48.00 .. ,I've been using these & the blackplates,for a few months.
 
+1 on Paradoxpers {this man knows his tubes !-his word is Gospel }.. suggestion on the Siemens.,a truly beautiful tube...
Both of these should???,lift any veil

 

[paradoxper]

Well, my Mullard CV2493 are putting out a line noise sound, switching them out it goes away. 
I cleaned the tubes with some alcohol and cotton swabs. Any other suggestions to salvage them? 

 

[mikek200]

Paradoxper,
 
Dont have an answer to your problem...however,I do have a NOS backup pair,made for the Swedish Airforce...if it comes down to that,OK?
I think ,I told you about these tubes.
Let me know..

Yea, I am pretty bummed, so I'll have to see what happens, I highly doubt there is much that can be done. They've got about 800 hours on them.
I guess I might hit you up or look for another pair. bleh. 

 
Oh and yea, you did tell me about those tubes. I think those are CV2492's which I didn't care for. 
 
This gives me more reason to actually listen to more tubes, which just sit unused. haha

 

[mikek200]

Well,if its any consolation to you,we're all in the same boat.
I feel that way with my Lorenz....I'm almost afraid to use them.
 
So,now you have a good excuse,to buy the.....................MJOLNIR !!!
 
I'll put the cv2493 aside for you..
