RE: Nice... had inquired about that...

No, Ringwear, the top, bottom and sides of the Toroidal transformer are enclosed by respectively three, three and four layers of UltraPerm 80 (hydrogen-annealed MuMetal) separated by a sixteenth-of-an-inch thick strips of cork to maximize its shielding effectiveness. To avoid any shorts, the outside of each of these is covered with two thicknesses of white paper and the lid is fastened down to the sides with white duct tape. The Toroidal transformer inside is held down tightly in place by a previously-demagnetized, white nylon cable-tie in order to avoid the metallic presence of any machine screw. Between the amplifier case and the UltraPerm 80 enclosure underneath the Toroidal transformer is a 100mm diameter x 6mm thick hexagonal Deflex tile product called 'Hexi-Flexi' @ $3.75 from Michael Percy that releases more detail than any other product that I have heard. So what you see in the picture is just the protective white paper wrapping. Anyway hope this information is comprehensible and of some use.
