If you had your 'druthers, would you want a metal shell? I always assumed that the metal shell was a net negative and could have something to do with a sonic coloration that I think I hear. (I hasten to say, "I think".) I wonder whether sser's idea of grounding the case to the outer foil would make a positive difference in sound. But then, you have to identify the outer foil, which I found to be difficult to do with the outer metal case getting in the way.
