TK, I know first hand that the Bottlehead Foreplay line stage is VR tube shunt regulated.
I assembled one for a friend.
I think both the one with plate resistors and the upgrade (with CCS plate loads) both used the VR tube shunt regulated B+ supply.
I use VR tube shunt regulation in both my phone pre and my driver stages. (no line stage, I use a AVC)
In both instances the VR tube (stacks) are CCS feed.
