Hybrid amplifier with PCC88 (ECC88) + LM1875

Hello all!
Want to make this hybrid amplifier given by the schematic.
Therefore, seek the opinion about this amplifier. Is this pattern should or needed some changes to the schematic?
Please for comment.
thank you!

It's a bit pointless. The cathode follower adds nothing. The strength of tubes is in voltage amplification, not current amplification. The LM1875 has a sufficiently high input impedance that a tube buffer before it is nothing but fashion. Plus, you now have to build five power supplies instead of the two of a normal Gainclone. For a better use of tubes and chipamps, try:

SuperTriodes & Inverted ES Speakers

where a tube provides the voltage gain and the chipamp provides the current gain with a nestled feedback loop.
 
Hello!
What do you think of this design: in this schematic the amplifier with LM1875 to add this to the input buffer with PCC88?!
Or someone has a better solution?
thank you
