I wouldn't call it a reliability problem in the usual terms of tube to tube variation or out and out failure. Our experience is that 6N1Ps seem to have a relatively short lifespan in terms of when the sound starts to degrade a bit - maybe six months or so of play on average. They don't get all of a sudden noisy or short out, they just gradually get more "muddy" sounding. They will still function in a circuit just fine when this happens, pulling the right voltage and current. Dunno the mechanism - maybe the cathode material gets tired?
