Again, thanks for the help.
Some follow up questions:
1) Do the tubes in a preamp need to be matched or is that really just an issue for amps?
2) If they do need to be matched could it be in pairs? a) Right negative and positive gain paired and Left negative and positive gain paired vs. b) Negative right and left paired and Positive right and left paired? Sorry for my utter ignorance here.
3) Could I use different tubes in pairs or quads according to the attached layout or should they all be the same make?
1. 6SN7 tube - left channel positive phase gain - buffer
2. 6SN7 tube - right channel positive phase gain - buffer
3. 6SN7 tube - left channel balanced input buffer
4. 6SN7 tube - left channel negative phase gain - buffer
5. 6SN7 tube - right channel negative phase gain - buffer
6. 6SN7 tube - right channel balanced input buffer
7. 6SN7 tube - right channel headphone amplifier
8. 6SN7 tube - left channel headphone amplifier
