Hello May,

I'm afraid I have to admit that this "Once-Removed" theory is a bit more than I can understand. Can you explain or do you have any ideas of why it works and effects the sound? All this time I thought the "magic brick" worked by deading the vibrations of the transformers and the tubes, plus absorbing or effecting the magnetic fields from the transformers.

I'll be making my own DIY "magic brick" but cannot help but wonder if the type of metal used matters? If so what's metal is best, iron, steel, brass, aluminium etc? My plans are to get a bar of whatever metal is best and then veneer a wooden outer layer on it. I don't want the metal to scratch my transformers so I will be adding a layer of felt on the bottom. But if the layers matter will this have a postive or negative effect on the sound? Or maybe I should I forego the wood veneer and just put felt on the bottom of the metal bar?
