A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About

Two quick questions for anyone with any experience with either topic.

1. Why do some folks with usually higher end systems use those cable lifters to keep the cable elevated? What are they intended to do? If you use them, what do they do for you please? And if you know do they make sense from a purely technical standpoint? 

2. I bought a bunch of those gold plated caps to cover all the unused RCA jacks on the back of my AVR. I believe they are intended to keep noise down. If you use these, please comment on them. Do you think they do what they're supposed to do, and/or do they make sense from a purely technical standpoint?

Thanks!

I did not even know I was a mega-tweaker way before tweakers thought they were cool.

Once upon a time, and for years, my speaker cables were suspended. They never touched the floor. millercarbon came to that game a little too late to be considered a trailblazer.

Just put bookshelf speakers on bookshelves and amplifier on some other shelf.

I've never seen a 12mm electron, and am happy as f 'bout it...(refered to in an early post...)

Going through a 12ga cable would be like watching a python being force-fed billiard balls in a terrifying rate of speed...👀!

Feedback?  Don't Even think about it....

I met a dog recently that the owner taught it to Smile...Really.  A bit strange, but you could actually tell if it liked you.....*S with big teeth*L*
