Shorting caps/Cardas protective caps worth the $?

Bigjoe, where can we find the rubber plug covers?

The Cardas caps don't short out the connector, they just cover it. No down-side to using them. Since they are solid metal they theoretically could prevent RF from entering the connector. I can't honestly say that's a problem, but it's relatively cheap insurance, at least compared to some of the other things we buy!

Agree with Pmotz...I use the Cardas rca caps on every open input. I used the balanced caps when I ran balanced. No down side here.

I use the caps on both RCA and XLR.

They are really only worth the money if you want to buy MY left over ones.

I was just about to purchase a bunch of them after hearing of them and (if memory serves me correct) was speaking with Emmanuel Go of First Sound about a possible upgrade on my preamp and he strongly recommended against the use of them on his preamp. *shrug* Well - that is where they would have been going, so I didn't ever order any. I can't recall the reason specifically for his opposition to them.
