Bruce /Mission Amps | Re: DC Heater Wiring Using a DC rectifier in the 6.3vac line to build a DC filament supply will lower the actual voltage down by at least .6v to .7v, but, the actual filtered DC is still close to 7.8vdc when doing this. The resistor trick works but is best used in the AC legs to the rectifier. And, if you didn't want to build the DC filament supply with a +6VDC regulator at the end, I guess you could also use a couple more 6a silicone diodes in series with the DC lines to lower it a bit more.
