I am not sure, but I THINK others have said EL-34 triode connected is not such a good sounding tube !!
Get a good design, it won't break !! Can you DIY build? If so, we could steer you into something up here.
All you need is an attenuator to drive most triode amps with high efficiency speakers. The preamp is mainly used as a switching - source device. Gain from the CD player will usually drive most amps used with high efficiency speakers!!
Only if you do phono do you need a preamp, with RIAA EQ.
