RE: I did those experiments in 6th grade...

Thanks again for your very reasonable nature. A lot of guys get pissed off during discussions like this, where none of us really know the others. The subject of EM is much more complex than we are making it. I am not saying that it is not desireable to shield from EMI; I am only saying that I doubt your chassis screws could possibly have been doing much damage as generators per se of EMI. Certainly nothing that would be audible in your system. You may say that you did the work and hear the difference. To that I would have no argument except to say that there is such a thing as observer bias, and it's very powerful, especially when a guru like Uncle Stu endorses the work. In the end, you have a subjective impression. But to prove that I am wrong, someone would have to measure the EMI fields in and around your amplifier before vs after the screws were changed. Finally, this hobby drives all of us to do kooky things; I am hardly perfect in that regard.
