Copper Sleeve over IEC

There is a resistor.

"A 75 Ohm resistor within an RCA phono plug for the termination of the unused digital output or input can avoid this problem. The result is a more accurate, cleaner and well-balanced sound."

I wish they had chosen another name rather than shorting plug. People are going to put real shorting plugs into output and damaging their electronics.

They should call it a "Loading plug" opposed to "Shorting Plug"

Actually, I think they call it a terminator. I have been calling it a shorting plug, sorry.

Hello everyone

If you guys are interested in a cheap tweak, trying experimenting using different mouse pads under your cd, dac or laptop, I am currently using Certified data mouse pads under my bda-1 dac and it made a noticeable difference. It gave the dac a more weight and focus with out loss of dynamics. You can buy certified data mouse pads at London Drugs only.

They are different type of mouse pad and i am curious to see what they are made of, maybe sometime of carbon/foam mixture but they work and they are cheap.

You need two to get under all four feet of your cd or dac,or just under your laptop.

Give a try and at the very least you have two very good mousepads.

Sorry for hijacking this thread i find it interesting
