What's the best line stage tube ?
The First Sound uses the 7308 (Gold-pin Siemens). It also uses the OA2 for regulation. It does depend on the designer's choices in the circuit. 
What's the best line stage tube ?
I'd offer the First Sound/Presence audio Ultimate Paramount line stage. This unit has a bigger power supply than most amps - quiet & tight. And parts quality that defys reason. Sound that must be heard to be believed! 
Whats the best Tube Preamp
By far the First Sound (Presence Audio) Ultimate Paramount! This thing is over-built (2 power supplies in separate boxes)More capacitors than a 600W amp! Sound so real & clear & pure, your left gasping for air! 
Preamp suggestion
Check out the First Sound (Presence Audio) preamp. It is killer! Way over-built for the price. Dick Olsher loved the Deluxe model
