Thanks Thomas! I will eventually figure out the PSUD program and maybe put together a PS for the amp that I'd be happy with, if I don't get a PSUD derived answer here. Its a 6AV5 PP wired in triode amp and I've included the amp section in this post. I don't think I want to change anything on the amp section, but I thought the PS was not exactly what I would want to be feeding it.
Also, when I said I was on a budget all I meant was that I didn't want to spend ultra bucks on handwound Japanese transformers and the likes. I don't mind spending a little more on something that I can readily hear the difference in.
I did have an amp that used the 6AX4 damper diode. They seem to be just slightly cheaper than a pair of NOS Mullard 5AR4s. Hah!
