I've used just the *pentode* section of an ECL80 on it's own in the past. It worked very well as a low power output valve. You could use pretty much any valve in the junk box as a preamp stage - EF80, EF91 etc - but an ECC81/82/83 will give you 2 suitable triodes to play with. You don't need to use both. The ECC83 would probably be best.

Good luck, Paul
