ECC85 was designed as purpose-built VHF osc and RF amp, See here--

ECC85 @ The National Valve Museum

--Thats not to say it cant be used for different purposes, it wasn't designed specifically for audio, so items such as hum rejection and noise were not so critical in its design--unlike some other dual-triodes that were designed with Audio in mind.....

--personally, I prefer the mazda 6/30l2 as a good general purpose triode, better for pre-amplification than the 85!
