And you are not alone. Any single person who is chasing noise in phonostage ask himself the same question. I assure you that sun of later you will find it and it will be much simpler then you think.

Did you try just for test to increase the caps value that short the plate to ground? Will it amount and the character of the noise change?

If I were you then I would use elimination techniques. Get rid of the output buffer and see if the noise still there. Replace the air caps in feedback with mike or alike and see if noise is there. The air caps are in a way antenna and they suck anything from air. My experience with similar problems suggest that it is good to take you mind away from it and do something else. Then is time you return back to the project and you will suddenly come to you…
