I'm a vintage audio guy, a lot of vintage stuff used to come with these as OEM especially for unused phono stages. Not sure they do as much with some of the newer all digital stuff. But they do help with analog setups.
What I have found is they just clean things up a bit, a little more soundstage, a little more clarity, slight drop in noise floor. There like $15 for 20, not breaking anyones Audio budget, that's less than getting a new record.
This is what I get 20 for !5
Any amp/receiver that does't shut off the unused inputs it's a must have.
