This is what I did; in fact, I've had to leave them set at 250mA so that during warm up they don't go over 310mA. I think I got a hold of a couple of freaky tubes... I will try swapping them with the V1s.

I just poked around on eBay and it seems the 6c33C-B tubes are not so easy to find. There are however plenty of the model 6S33S-V. My understanding is that this is supposed to be a more durable version, intended to better resist vibration... Any opinions as to whether there is a difference in sound?
