Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Which tube among suitable for linestage?

The E180F(T) and 5842 both have a Mu = 50. Very little amplification is generally necessary in a line stage. In fact the majority of users have way too much gain in their signal chain. There was a Chinese line stage on another forum that needed 10 tubes to attenuate the 2Vrms from the user's DAC to the 1.25Vrms needed to drive the amp to clipping!
