Pretty much need the separate transformer, but you might get an improvement switching which heato leg you tie the cathode to.... if the heater is grounded or referenced to B+ your probably not going to get a good result....one alternative would be to use an isolation transformer for HK shorts...they look just like brighters, but don't change the heater voltage..

Just curious - what kind of CRT has the heater and cathode tied together by design?

Some early scope crts were built that way, 5BP1 for example.
