Does it hurt to put your main power transformer and protection filter under
the teslacoil?

Some people have said not to put metal or protection filters under it and
they should be put aside somewhere.
This makes sense but I have seen many coils that have everything but the
variac under one. In practice has anyone found out if it really makes much
of a difference?
It sure would make for a neat package to have everything except the variac
under the coil.
