Technically, a ceramic capacitor coupled with a carbon resistor would be the best choices, because they are stablest at RF. But no self-respecting audiophile would use such parts, regardless of the soundness of the theory. I use Russian SSG silver mica capacitors (because they too have a wide bandwidth before resonance, altho probably not as good as ceramic) and maybe a 2W tantalum resistor (can't remember). I taped everything to physically stabilize it, a la the wood case used by Walker HDLs.
I have not shielded mine. Nor do I think the HDLs are shielded, but maybe they are now you mention it. Did Al recommend that? If so, I will do it.
