Best way to lower B+?? I tried a change in my circuit of the Six Pacs. .

so that instead of a L 2H C 300uF to the B+ with a ripple of .52 the circuit change was to a clc B+, which lowered the ripple to about .005. But with the addition of the cap (280uF) right after the rectification of changed the B+ and it went up by 110 volts putting 520 volts on the plate instead of 410. Now I could add a resistor but I am wondering if there is another way though a small value resistor isn't bad either. 220mA is the current draw but I am trying to find a way around all of the heat.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
