Check these 0.22uF things out. They will be going into a Adcom GFA-555 on the power rails right before the output board. The fur is from a couch my dog ate. It looks like a mess, but it should at least do something... Ill ask it what the hell a RK basketball is...id assume it would know best....happy thanksgiving.

What's the objective of the coverings? Damping? I'd be a little concerned of a fire hazard 0_o

The covering is to dampen the ringing of the component. It also diffuses and dissipates the EM. The fur covering does a great job of acting like little antennas to absorb the EM in the chassis and capacitor. It also creates a more even EM output/input pattern along with dissipating it. The tape is athletic tape with a zinc based glue.
 
In the two photos, the one with the fur is clearly more diffuse under the lighting.
 
I doubt it will catch fire as the component doesnt get that hot, even at the 4/5 watt bleeder resistors. Plus the fur is synthetic based with fire retardents. The worst that could happen is it might melt.
