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!

A bit confused...

I made "shorting" plugs years ago for unused RCA inputs on a couple of phono preamplifiers.

I wired a small resistor from the RCA's center post to the RCA's outer band (as I was instructed to do).

Forget the value, but it was small.

There was a marked sonic improvement, though the (2) preamps were inexpensive battery powered stereo units that I ran as dual mono's for stereo (simple way of beefing up the power/battery supply).
