    the safety precautions around high voltages.

Suggestions for a cheap Stereo Phono tube preamp based upon this power transformer?

Thankfully, this is an easy 1. 😀

Build a tweaked RCA setup. I've attached the schematic.

Greinacher double, using Schottky diodes and BIG 'lytics, the 6.3 VAC and follow with a 7812 3 terminal regulator to get a good DC heater supply.

FWCT rectify the 300-0-300 taps, with 1200 PIV Schottky diodes. CRCRC filter the "raw" DC. The drops in the filter resistors are your "friend", in this situation. Use a pair of LR8 regulators to provide isolated 250 VDC to each channel.
