Likely far before the point of diminishing returns... I don't listen to crap. If it wasn't as good as it is, I wouldn't even suggest it...
Now I have the urge to stack toroids!
Have some cheap filament transformers around and boatloads of 6p1p, maybe parallel GU50 triode strapped for lots of power!

SS bolts are provided with many toroid transformers as the magnetic properties of SS are poor. This along with a rubber cushion seem to be adequate.
I would expect Brass bolts would work well also.
Copper end caps and pipe might make good looking covers and would be nonmagnetic.

It may sound a bit strange but I've been using extra long toilet seat bolts (new!) to secure my toroids. They're a really strong plastic and zero magnetic worries.

Why would you want non-magnetic covers?
Toroid transformers do not suffer from magnetic leakage to the extent that EI cores do. Therefore it becomes less of an issue.
Exactly. It doesn't matter. You can make the covers out of any material you wish. Being non-magnetic is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage.
I took your statement in #85 to imply that being nonmagnetic was desirable. This could confuse a novice reading it.

Highly permeable materials are much better at attenuating EM radiation than nonmagnetic materials, but toilet seat bolts could do the job just as well, who knows?
