I think he said he'd tried about 10 different EF86s.

These old valve pre-amps do have a bit of hiss and noise, but obviously not as much as being experienced here. This is the reason why the Valve power amps are generally very desirable, but the valve pre-amps that go with them are not so desirable to the extent of sometimes being virtually worthless by comparison.
