Whoah!

First, try it without a vibe damping compound. I suggest this for a reason!

Mineral oil has its uses, but while it is non-conductive, it does convert electrical energy to heat energy. This is not the application I'd use it with at all, though who knows what might work....

What you should try, if you can still find it, is Microsorb. If you can't get that anymore, then try blu-tak or cotton balls. The latter are very good to use between between the components and the TI and also between the TI and box if you need it.

You will want to connect the TI into a roll. Ask Al how you should do this. Make sure that you fit the TI so that it doesn't short out your components (Rs and Cs).

A la CDC, I tried different grounding schemes, as I told you before. None, grounded to outlet by separate wire, and various AWGs of wire. As CDC said, the 12 or 14 AWG grounding to the outlet by separate wire DOES work best in my system too.

As per Al, silver mica caps do work best in my system for speaker cable filters. I also use a 3 or 4 R-C array here.
