I have dropped 7 volt ac to 6.3 DC, via a bridge rectifer and a resistor for the heaters on my 6SL7's on my amp. I put in a fifty volt 2200 uF cap after the rectifer, one lead to positive off the bridge rectifer and the other to ground (the cap is polar and wired right) but the capacitor has blown once. The second cap started doing the same thing. I wired this per the manufactures recomendation (Cary).
My question is what am I doing wrong and is this smoothing the voltage enough?
Thanks, John
