Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps?

Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
Yesterday I got delivery of quad Sylvania vt231 which I paid only 175$ for four tubes.Both pairs sound nice with pretty good bass, but one pair give slightly more air and sparkle than the other pair.I had experienced similar things with Raytheon v...

@big_gregIt will be better to contact dealer explaining what happened, that is, one tube has no noise and the other one has noise even after 20-30 hours.He may send you one replacement tube.Please update the progress.

About this level of amplifier, it is not easy to say which one is best.It will depend on synergy with your speaker and your personal music taste.it is best to audition them at your home before you make decision. 
Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
I keep hearing noise from 1578 made in 83 but not from two tubes made in  80.68ns sounds lively but with some noise on an off.After burning in, the noise may go off. Let us see.
