I've not tried it, but there is a reason for R56 being there. The
resistor and capacitor C70C are there to provide DECOUPLING between the
audio and product detector and the b+/2, NOT just for ripple reduction.
Since only those two stages are connected to this ISOLATED supply, the
current is low, requiring less capacitance for ripple reduction.
In my experience, a 2-B with GOOD electrolytics and an 8BN8 has a very
low residual audio hum. IF you believe the ripple is too high, a better
fix would be to increase the value of C70B and/or R55. IF there is
ripple on B+/3, and C70C has a reasonable ESR, then increasing the
capacitance at C70C is the appropriate fix.

Has anyone done the B&B Technical Services Hum modification on their 2-B?
The mod replaces R56 with a jumper and adds extra capacitance to C70. This
adds 25 volts to B+3 but does reduce the ripple.
