Cary SLP 98P question

The phono section of this preamp uses 12AU7s as buffer tubes and 12AX7s as driver tubes. I've put some nice NOS Telefunkens in for the 12AX7s based on a friend's recommendation and that was a great improvement. The stock buffer tubes are EH Russian. What is the purpose of the buffer tube and is it as critical? What 12AU7s do you like for these?
