RE: Which B7 for 6n6p linestage?

141.152.251.127

The 5K model has sufficient primary L in most cases that it should work well(i.e., provide an adequate load impedance) with a 6n6p tube.

If you want or need to burn some gain then you might look at a B7-8K
or a B7-10K.

In many preamp or line level apps--- the secondary is either very lightly loaded or not loaded at all (i.e., intentional loading). When this is the case it is the primary L that effectively provides the load impedance that the anode of the tube is looking into. The stated primary impedance under these conditions can be moreso viewed as an alternate way of stating the voltage ratio (i.e., turns ratio)--- and the user might be moreso governed in their selection of which "nominal" impedance is best by considering what they want or can do with their voltages--- how much step down do they want or need.

You still want to pay attention however to the MOL listed for each primary winding.

Hope this helps.
