popping sound with new 6922 tube


I am new in the tube world. I just replaced Siemens 6922 tube with Phillips. When I turn the preamp up for the first time in the morning, I get a popping sound (probably from tube) after a couple of seconds. A noise is delivered to speakers, too. Is it ok? Will it disappear as the tubes age? Or should I get a different pair? Thanks for your help.

Misha,
Eweedhome is right. Unless you buy your NOS tubes from a respected seller you are in for trouble, unless you buy a tube tester ( to be found on ebay ) have it checked and calibrated and test every tube you intend to use for rolling. A popping tube belongs out unless you want to risk damage to your gear.
