Re: Dropping B+ problem!
Trying to drop the b+ of a power stage with a voltage divider is useless because of the too high source impedance it presents.  
I have had sucess puting an inductor (say 5 henry) after the diode and before the first capacitor of the power supply. this causes the voltage to be 0.707 of what it would be in a convedntional pi circuit.
