Here are the answers to your questions:

Q: your pic shows all 3, 3650pf caps tied to just *1* resistor; mine shows 1 resistor for each of these 3 caps ??
A: That is correct, this is what Al recommended

Q: what type of wire you like to use?
A: I have tried several including Gold alloy (gold, silver, copper mixure), 5N copper, 4N silver from two sources and Cardas 5N silver. I have not tried pure gold yet. So far the wire I like the best is Cardas 24ga. 5N silver from Percy. I also polish the Cardas wire.

Q: is that microsorb underneath the RC's?
A: Yes it is Microsorb. I tried the wrapping teflon tape as Al does. So far, I find that the Microsorb seems to work the best.

Q: where might I pick up a plastic enclosure? That's a good idea
A: Radio Shack, the dimensions are 1"H x 2"W x 3" long. $2.69. I use brass screws instead of the steel screws that come with the enclosure. I also use a brass bolt, nut and washer for the TI-Shield (see the lead with a loop coming off of the last resistor).

The TI shield is just on the cover plate - RioTubes 18:11:59 08/24/07 (4)
that is not shown? Yes I wondered what that wire was for. So you are grounding the TI shield...and the shield is between the RC network and the speaker drivers?

  Yes, the TI-Shield is on the underside of the cover and not pictured. I probably have taken 10-11 pictures of the different R-C Networks I have built. If it helps I can post a pic or two of the TI-Shield. The TI-Shield is grounded to the resistors. With the TI-Shield installed, the presentation is a bit warmer/more organic then without. No noticable loss of information with the TI-Shield installed. I use cotton in between the TI-Shield and the rest of the network, to ensure that there will never be a short.

    Remember we were talking about warmth....I got an idea....remove the internal TI Shield ground wire and earth ground the TI Shield back to the ac outlet...that should warm things up a bit. Use a good 12ga insulated copper wire for the ground....copper spade as well. Keep me posted.
