I agree. I use Audio Additives caps from MusicDirect

Can't say I hear a difference but like the fact that dust does not get in these openings of my pre and cdp. This is a tweak to buy when you are in the mood to tweak, don't want to spend alot or be disappointed if the tweak does not improve your sound.
