RCA Caps


Is anyone using RCA caps (plugs) on their unused audio connectors?

I'm considering going with either Telos or Cardas.

I like the idea of keeping dust out of these while benefitting from EFI/RFI rejection.

Like the Cardas Caps they don’t having to be shorting type caps to be effective.
These are good for nothing sound or noise wise.

Like Al said,
"a shorting plug will have electrical effects, by lowering the input impedance of the unused input to essentially zero ohms. Low impedance circuit points are inherently less susceptible to pickup of electrical noise than high impedance circuit points" " caps that do not short the input will do nothing other than perhaps reducing oxidation or corrosion of the ground shell that may occur over time, and keeping out a few dust particles."

Another solution is to chew a piece of gum along with shreds of aluminum foil and copper shavings. Once chewed, remove the metal reinforced gum and stick it on the unused RCA plugs. Done!
Georgie Boy, if I were you I'd seriously consider modifying your post to say, Cardas caps do nothing for the sound that I'm aware of. There, that's more like it!

Yeah, but you have to be able to walk and chew gum simultaneously.
