Jeff, I'm wondering whether when you executed it with steel you actually surrounded the transformer or just had flat plates as you do with the copper. With the flat plates I would think the magnetic field would go around the plates, which would mean a longer path length thus decreasing the strength, but not nearly as good as a full shield, which would mean encasing the tranny. Of course decreasing the field strength might be "good enough", kind of like effectively moving the transformer a bit farther away. If you're intent on shielding mu metal might be even better since that is specifically designed to shield magnetic fields. Can't comment on its sonic qualities per se, but it's used a lot to block hum fields.
