    transformers headaches in disguise?

    Do old transformers in tube amps add to the white noise? I read in some reviews that swaping out 'crappy' transformers for better ones made the amp sound a whole lot "better" Also does the brand of power tube account for the sound aswell? like groove tubes compared to phillips or GE for example?
