Well, the filters sound excellent with the Mortite on the caps and the back of the TX2575 resistor - it is only applied to the exterior of the component bodies, not to any wires. I'll let it break in for a while and then I plan to pot the whole assembly with clear potting epoxy and pop a lid on the box. For now I just bent the shield closed and used it that way.
By the way, I tried no grounding, grounding to the AC outlet earth, and grounding to the (-) leg of the circuit, after the resistor. I could hear no difference between the earth ground and the ground to the (-) leg, and they both sounded a little better than no ground, so I went with the ground to the (-) leg, since it is simpler and requires less wires to be run around the room. You can see the ground wire soldered to the shield and connected after the resistor. The wires in and out are DH Labs solid core silver with teflon jacket and the spades are Audioquest gold over copper. Here are some pictures:
