An Update!
I sourced some of the LR8 regulators and tested it in circuit - no thing got warm and the thing still works!
I turned my attention to the 24K+36K combination to set the anode voltage - plenty of warmth here!
I am using 5W parts and whilst not too hot to touch I still worry about the heat. I just dont like making things hot.
Perhaps I should try replacing the single 24K/36K with two 48K/72K parts in parallel - just to get that temperature down - or shouldn't I worry so much?
