Shorting plugs
I had my spare RCA sockets on the preamp shorted and thought that I didn’t need to worry about the XLR and AES/EBU connections.Wrong assumption! Shorting the latter resulted in a significant reduction of hash and increased clarity in the treble as well as more precise positioning in the sound stage. Everything matters and as tweaks go this one is value for money.

They don't objectively do anything but drain your wallet. |
Thanks for the response. I installed the shorting plugs on all unused RCA and XLR inputs, XLR outputs and removed the center pins on the RCA outputs. While not huge, I did hear a slight reduction in background noise, better image edge definition, snappier transients and better bass articulation. Thanks @antigrunge2 for sharing what I found to be a worthwhile upgrade. |
