Mark,You have to be careful when you speak about Sovtek 'X7s. The 12AX7LPS is a GOOD tube. It has DECENT tone and it's QUIET. That makes the 'LPS a prime contender for service in phono sections. Sovtek 'WXAs and 'WXBs are GUANO.
A good way to get nice tone from 'X7s in a line stage is the use of strong used TFK smoothplate ECC83s. Used TFKs with plenty of life left in them are relatively reasonable in cost.
BTW, the EI tube was a fair copy of the TFK smoothplate.
I TOTALLY agree with talking to Jim McShane about your needs.
