Copper shields on components will block a maximum of about 30% of area RFI, which should produce a noticeable improvement in sonics - noticeable in my system as an increase in detail and definition - but will do little for EMI (electromagnetic interference). If you want to 'block it all' try using shields made of 'T.I. Shield' material (available from Percy).I have become a Fanatic Shielder since I discovered the outrageous amount of RFI that is being generated INSIDE audio equipment enclosures (take a pocket A.M. radio tuned between stations and hold it near a piece of your equipment with the cover removed that is turned on - it will be howling like a Banshee ! Then pass a signal thru the unit and the noise level will at least double). This type of interference is generally the masking type : you don't hear it per se, but really notice its' absence in the form of additional resolution etc. i.e. you hear things that weren't audible previously in familiar music.
