Meiaflask,
Recommendations seem to be all over the place. Whatever your ears end up liking, the PL DP preamp would be the optimal setup.
With that in mind, the suggestions of NOS RCA,GE,Raytheon. ..
American tubes instead of the Euro/Brit tubes have made my PL HP sing like a VERY expensive amp. IME, a decent(not necessarily $$) also add to refining these great amps.
With a little searching, you can find 2 decent US tubes for the price of 1 popular Euro/Brit tube.
