Shorting caps/Cardas protective caps worth the $?

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.

I use them (shorting plugs) on unused inputs on my integrated and think they they are a tweak that offers a very small performance enhancement. Along similar lines and with a much bigger positive effect is terminating the digital out on your CD player. Lots of info in the digital asylum at audioasylum about what is necessary to make up the appropriate termination; I'm never really focused on the technicals.

Thanks, people. I was just just wondering if it was worth getting into. I´ll see if I can lend some and try´em out for my self. See if I like´em ; )

Best,

I use the cardas on all unused RCA's. I am not sure if the do anything performence-wise, but they sure look clean and even the wife liked them, Not many tweaks that I have done get a WAF bonus.
