Hi!
I've planned to build a tube preamplifier according to this:
Linear Audio | your tech audio resource
It's a low voltage design witch I think is a good starter project for a beginner like me.
My plan was to use 6922 tubes and GZ34 rectifier. Rp1_ohms = 87 K and Rp2_ohms = 26 K.
For a power transformer I was planning to use this with its 45V tap:

and this choke:

I did some calculations in PSUD2 and if I use the transformer 45V-tap and rectify it in GZ34, parallell 20uF capacitor, series 17 mH choke, parallell 100uF capacitor, series 17 mH choke, parallell 270uF capacitor --> B+.
What do you guys think? A resonable approach?

The high output impedance I am aware of. It might be a problem but i plan on building it anyway and se how it performs. If I'm not happy i will tear it appart and build something new, probably with a cathode follower or something completely different.
As for power supply, any suggestions? I do like the chosen transformer as it has 5V, 6V and 48V taps and they are produced locally. As for the rest of the power supply, I am very open to changes.

On internet you can find at low cost a proper trafo to build a good preamp as shown in post 3.
In that case you can use also 6N6 to get a lower gain

The tube-rectifier is no more. It will be diods instead, the to parallell caps, series choke and then a parallel cap
