I need to replace my E34 tube on my Audio Aero Amp

I bought an Audio Aero Capitole amp on audiogon and recently I noticed quite the, for lack of a better description, feedback noise that would happen in my right channel shortly after powering up the amp.

I tried trading tubes from the left channel to the right and after much experimentation, I have isolated the problem to the E34 tube.

these are the tubes that came with the amp. They are 'JJs".

Question: are there better tubes? Can I use other brands or should I just stick with the same replacements?

Any suggestions, and a name of a distributor are appreciated.

thanks.

I am not familiar with E34 tubes, but I recently bought a matched pair of JJ 300B from http://thetubestore.com and I was very pleased with their selection and quality of delivery. They have a prety good veriety of EL34 tubes, and acoording to the link below EL34 and E34L are of the same type

I hope this helps a little.
