The capacitance required depends on several factors.
There is a graph in Bill Orr's Handbook that shows what
is needed as a minimum.

  I'm building an amp using 4-572B tubes. I need a voltage doubler to =
achieve the correct voltage. My questions are,#1 Should I use a half =
wave or full wave doubler and #2 what capacitance should I use. I know =
sometimes there is point where toooo much capacitance is a problem, I =
would also like to avoid that.
  Thanks in advance for your thoughts Pro and Con.   Kurt...
