If you have one tube like aan 833A running slightly cherry and the other

Not all 833's are created equal.
Your statement is not necessarily true.
Depends on the plate current. It should be close to the same for each tube,
with identical grid bias and/or grid drive conditions. If the tubes are way
off balance, chances are the low-reading tube is weak, or the high-reading
tube is gassy.
It's best to have a separate plate meter for each tube, so you can always be
aware of tube balance.
