To split hairs...

The LS25 MKII uses a solid-state JFET input and the 6H30 tube as a cathode follower.

ARC's claim is slightly different:

" Inside, however, you will find a new motherboard architecture that incorporates a JFET input stage similar to that used in the VTM200, followed by a cathode-follower / output driver stage using two 6H30 twin triodes."

You don't need a pair of 6H30s for mere buffering. They are the final output stage for the coupling caps.
