Capped off?


Good morning to the community!  I am using RCA caps (from Cardas – don’t know if that makes a difference) on all my unused ports.  Supposedly, they help eliminate crosstalk between the outputs and inputs.  I’m really not sure if I can tell a difference, but they sure look cool!

Anybody else using these?  If so, I would be interested in your thoughts.  Thanks!

I use them as well....more to repel dust than for any sonic benefit. I really have no idea if they have any effect on sound quality.....but as you say, they do look good.
Just get the cheap ones with removable pins. Go whichever way works the best. 
If you gotta spend up, FutureShop UK is your best bet.
I don't know about Cardas, but if you were using the old PPT caps there would be no doubt. The reduction in noise, improvement in clarity, and image focus, is obvious and easy to hear. 

That's the problem with these things. Tweaks, I mean. Someone makes one that is truly outstanding. Everyone hears and says wow that is amazing. But then instead of buying the good stuff they decide to try something else. Which of course turns out to be crap. Or they use something that looks the same, and jump to the conclusion it is the same, and then in a Beamon size leap of logic conclude everything that looks like that is snake oil, to use this sites preferred vernacular.

Get the PPT ones. If you can. Anything else, oh well. 
@millercarbon, what makes one brand better than another; materials, design?
And do you use shorting plugs on inputs?
