Groove tubes simply 'select' tubes from the 3 or 4 different tube factories and label them. I have heard that the 6550 tubes made in the ST. Petersburg (Russia) plant are the best being currently made.
As far as the preamp tubes are concerned, you really need to get several to see what you come up with (v1, v2, v3) in the different spots. In general, Tung-sol reissues are rated highly.
