Thank you for sharing these two ideas. Perhaps external plywood housing for the toroidal transformer and separately each speaker crossover unit would best isolate the signal paths from the degradation of magnetism and vibration.

It would be interesting to learn whether any member, who has done this, considers that the improvement in sound quality justifies the investment in time, energy and expense.

This subject brings up something I did more than 20 years ago. I had a local tech remove the transformer (I-core, I believe) from the Conrad-Johnson PV-8 preamp and secure it into a simple Radio Shack enclosure. He created an umbilical with a DB-25 connector on the transformer end, and a serial 8-pin connector on the preamp end. The effect was impressive....everything improved. So good that I did the same thing to my Philips CD-80 player.

  Thanks for the valuable information, Alan.
