^Oh crap. Thanks guys. I'll look more into this one after I get back from campus.
I completely forgot to mention that I 'did' check the gain tube before I removed the Sylvania outputs. I took out the 12sx7gt I was using with a Sylvania 12sn7gt, but I didn't hear any improvement so I automatically blamed the output tubes. Obviously it's a lot faster to remove and replace one tube instead of the two output tubes.
However, I haven't checked it back again AFTER I put in the working output tubes (when I actually have a much lower hum)... I'll cross my fingers for the next few hours.
