Fenbach, I have never played with the capacitor method of voltage reduction but I know others have. I've used this method in the past and had the transformer in stock so I used it. It is highly recommended to lower the voltage in, for example, a Zenith. I understand that the PT for those where not as robust as they could have been and they run warm. Taking a bit of stress off from the old PT's with aging insulation just seems like a good thing to do. Perhaps makes the tubes last longer as well.
