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.

Just a follow up on my endeavors where RCA shorting plugs are concerned.....

I’ve obtained and installed these:

I *cannot* detect a difference in the way my Musical Fidelity noise floor emanates the slightest "hiss" (no music source but volume cranked past 12) with or without the shorting plugs. So I’ll leave them on for "theoretical advantage".

I *can* detect a difference when I put them on the LFE input of my Golden Ear Triton Reference speakers. The otherwise (without caps) slight "wind tunnel breath of air) sound that is typical of speakers with internal amps does not seem to be present or if present has been lowered.

My assumption is that whatever benefit could be obtained by shorting inputs is the same regardless of whether or not the amp is class B or D, correct?

All good in any case :)

Happy New Year everyone!!
I use the Cardas on my Ayre.....absolutely no difference.   I suppose if you need them you do......
Cardas’ caps are obscenely overpriced, but here’s the technical explanation: https://youtu.be/KFciL0qjqu0.

Looks like eBay sellers have plenty of options for gold- and rhodium-plated caps.
