Phono preamps are a VERY poor choice for a beginning builder of tubed electronics. I suggest you use Jim Hagerman's opamp based, but passive EQ, Bugle2 phono preamp, at least for now.

OTOH, you can, at modest expense, build a tubed "integrated amp". "El Cheapo" can be executed with only a decent multi-meter for test equipment.

Since you seem to be willing to spend some money, buy "Dynaclone" Z565 O/P transformers from Triode Electronics and use ultra-linear/triode mode switches. Correct speakers are important. Mid 90s sensitivity and a reasonably flat impedance curve are in order.
