Seems to me that wouldn't a steel, ferrous containing metal, act like a super highway and actually assist the electromagnetic energy getting to the bottom of the windings of a toroidal transformer, since magnetism likes to travel via iron, path of least resistance and all that, stray/residual energy that it is?
In my previous post I was not using a coppper, flat washer on top or anywhere for that matter, though I had considered it, too costly. The washer supplied with the amp was made of aluminum. I replaced that one with a stainless steel washer and applied a layer of KAPTON (a dielectric) film stuck to the flat side, that faces the transformer. It has been my experience that copper will bounce or reflect back onto its source and that, that can cause bad sounding things to happen when it does. I think some space is needed to keep the reflection from occuring or some way to disrupt the reflection (ERS cloth?) Just a little confusion I needed to clear up, to keep this discussion factual. Thanks for your participation, always appreciated.
