RCA Caps

I've been thinking about them for a Steelhead, but then, that's a LOT of unused RCA's, and a lot of sensitivity. I think the money's better spent on tube dampers or audiophile-grade fuses, though.

First let's not confuse caps, which simply surround the positive with the ground, with shorting plugs, which actually short the positive and ground. Cardas Caps are an example of the former and the old shorting plugs that came with Mac gear back in the day would be an example of the latter. I notice no difference with the former, but have had quite a good result from using shorting plugs, finding the overall noise architecture to be diminished and the fabric of the music to be clearer. YMMV.

Thanks for the replies gents, i dont use them at present, but only use 1 input on my Asr, so considered them but maybe ill stop fiddling for a while and buy a cd instead.
