Ok, I think I misunderstood. I was thinking you had the capacitor between the anode driver and the nixie. Sounds like you have the capacitor between the HVPS and the anode driver. Sounds good. I don't do anything to lower the sound on my nixies (aside from acrylic cases.. lol)... My nixies don't make noise (I guess because I haven't used anything bigger than an IN-8/IN-14/IN-12) and my PS makes a _little_ noise [this is mechanical noise, the coil tightening and loosening on the ferrite many times a second] but the case quietens it just fine. I do have a smoothing cap after the HVPS as well, to make the power more DC-like otherwise the output looks like a sawtooth on my boost switching supplies.
