See what I mean?give you a more euphonic, organic sound while retaining that quickness.

Huh? I don't think anyone here knows what you are trying to express.
I don't want to make any assumptions, but you seem insulted by the idea that tubes have a characteristic sound. They all sound different from each other depending on the circuit and the tube, but in single-ended mode they don't sound like solid state either. They are indeed warmer and more pleasing, and people have used Tube Buffer -> Chipamp with happy results.

I think some know exactly what I am succeeding in expressing, and some of them agree with me. However, I don't wish to be a party bore so I will leave you all with your "euphonic, organic sound" if that is what you prefer. I prefer to hear the music rather than the system, whatever active devices are used.
I ll just note that an engineer should be able to design for the specific goal.
If the goal is less distortion, there are ways to accomplish it.
If the customer wants liquid euphnic, organic and syrupy, he should be able to accomplish that, too.
A person who knows that art, is distinguished from a tinkerer who only wants to get "that" sound, whatever that sound might be.

Pretty much all tubes make for good cathode followers to drive a chipamp so just use whatever you have on hand.
I would pick 6DJ8 because it is known to be very quiet (though so are a lot of tubes).
Another option is 12BH7, because I have tried it and it sounds great.
How about I replace the 6DJ8 with PCC88?
thank you!
Preamp with PCC88
Hi guys!
I want to try to do the preamplifier with PCC88. At the anode to tie the series resistor 12k/2W, and to put on the cathode resistor of 470R/0.25W, and the input resistor to be 1k/0.25W. Coupling capacitor of 470nF/63V and potentiometer 50klog. The output coupling capacitor to set the MKP 2u2/100V.
Anode DC-voltage Ua= 120V/10mA. What will be the output resistance of the preamplifier Zout =?
Does this preamp will work well? or should I change some values of components?
Thank you for your cooperation!
