Quote:It took three #75 tubes until I found a good one that didn't cause a muffled hissing after the set played for about 5 or 10 minutes

That might have been a supersonic parasitic oscillation. A "grid stopper" resistor, around 68K, placed in series with the grid wire right at the top cap of this tube (its grid), should tame those unruly tubes you have. This resistor, in combination with the tube's stray capacitance, acts like a low pass filter to disable the oscillation.
