   As others have pointed out, you need to be more specific.   
   For example, if all you want to do is run a 12AX7/ECC83 double   
   triode as a preamp, all you need is 250-300V at a few milliamps,   
   plus 6.3 or 12.6V for the heater.   
      
   If you want to include a power amp, then you'll need a much   
   beefier power supply.
