	Magnetic shielding material is generally not a distributor item, so
one must go directly to a manufacturer.  Here are three possibilities:

Ad-Vance Magnetics, Inc., 625 Monroe St.,
Rochester, IN 46975, 219/223-3158

Eagle Magnetic Co., Inc., P.O. Box 24283,
Indianapolis, IN 46224, 317/297-1030

Magnetic Shield Div., Perfection Mica Co., 746 N. Thomas Dr.,
Bensenville, IL 60106, 312/766-7800 

	Any of the above vendors can furnish you with various types of
magnetic shielding in sheet or foil form.  However, you may encounter
some problems with minimum order quantities.  You could always buy a
quantity and sell the excess to the audiophiles on the Net... :-)
