You might also try covering the set with a large piece of aluminum

have read that cats don't like the feel of stepping on it.

I did seen an advice in an old Playboy magazine to put some lemon juice
on a speaker, to avoid cats damaging it (they try every thing with their
claws). It was said that cats hate the acid smell of the lemon. Maybe if
Jon "paint" the pieces with lemon juice (without sugar), the cat will
avoid it...

My cats carry pieces around the house and hide them. I've seen nothing
short of putting the set out of reach that will stop the beasts.

Catch them in the act and squirt them with water. You won't need to do it
very many times before they get the message.
