Hi,
If you're starting from scratch, personally, I wouldnt use an EF86 as I find them a bit noisy compared with an ECC83 design. There are some circuits here:-

Mullard did an EF86 design but I can't find it just now, sorry.

Regards

Hi

Here's a link to the Mullard 2 valve pre-amp on Maurice Woodhead's site. This uses two EF86's and has the required equalisation for a pickup.
