Voltage doubler, tripler or other creative solution?

My project is slowly coming togeather.
It's a modular DAC build.
DAC -> LDR attenuator -> Circlotron tube buffer

I'll be needing 7-15VAC, 22-24VDC, 6.3V and (2x) +/- 200VDC.
The (2x) AN-1T150 will be enough to give me the +/- 200VDC in a floating psu.
The other secondaries will give med some 6.3V which will take care of the heaters.
All in all I'll have 3x6.3VAC left after powering the buffer.

Do you have any creative solutions for attaining 7-15VAC and 22-24VDC?

Perhaps I could connect two 6.3V secondaries in series for 12.6VAC?
Maybe build a voltage tripler for 26,5VDC and then regulate it to 22-24V?

What do you think?

Transformers need to be shielded, take up a lot of space and are costly. I'm looking for alternatives to adding more trafos?
 
Actually I see I made a small typo.
I think it should be quadrupler not tripler.

Minion> I need both 7-15VAC and 22-24VDC.

Playing around with numbers I thank heaven for the low voltage application. 25V caps are fairly cheap even if they are large. (10000uF)
 
Hi, I don"t see why not , I have used a single winding to get several voltages before , have even used the 12.6v AC heater tap through a Voltage Tripler to power the Plate of a Tube (starved plate) and the heaters , have used the Unregulated Power for a Poweramp and regulated it down for the Opamps .... as long as there is enough current to power all circuits and there are no ground loops there shouldn"t be a problem ....


Cheers
