In normal operation (grid negative to cathode), input impedance of the 6SN7 triode (g1-ground) is close to infinity, or at least, very high.
Then grid-leak resistor (say 220k from g1 to ground) is actually our input impedance (220k in parallel with >>220k = 220k).
We have the "problem" with input capacitance (Cgk+Cstrays+Cmiller), say about 100pF for 6SN7. The easiest way with filter stages is to observe triode input like, say, 220k in parallel with 100pF.
