Default What do you think of this idea...

It seems when the portable amps are placed back to back against the source component there is some interference picked up...I was wondering from the electrical gurus is there something that can be placed between the components that has some shielding properties? Think of how some speakers are shielded.

I was thinking something along the lines of those playing cards that are magnetized but obviously not made with a magnet but a metal like lead that has some shielding properties.

Is this possible? Will the "shield" be thick enough? Thoughts, ideas...etc....GO!
