What are small gold colored "caps" that came in bag with perfect path products?

Well, actually Graphene is an excellent RFI shield and many of their products contain Graphene. Gold could be simply cosmetic or used to distinguish their caps from all the other similar RCA caps that have been around since Gandhi was a Boy Scout, e.g., Cardas Caps.

"is anyone suggesting something other than RFI/EMI rejection is going on here?"

Yes because they are:

"...treated with some of their magic type stuff."

Thanks mc for posting links to my products as it looks kind of tacky if I do it. Pretty cool. I’m giving serious consideration to putting you on the payroll. Maybe as junior shill. As usual everything’s topsy turvy, me topsy, you turvy.

We all know he’s a jerk. He can’t help himself. It’s a form of inferiority complex. Either that or a really bad case of the 🍑

millercarbon"What about holons and morphic fields? How do you eliminate information fields? I mean, besides you being in the room.

This is a vile, unwarranted, unnecessary personal attack, insult, and derogatory statement perhaps MC thinks this is clever, witty, or amusing but I find it to be none of those but instead a poor reflection of MC's motives, intent, and purpose in this forum.

RFI. Let’s look at the wavelength of 1 Gigahertz wave for a second. It’s about 0.2 meter. So we can rule out all RF 1 GHz and below fitting into the opening of an RCA jack, let say it’s 3 mm. The hole diameter is too small. Pop quiz: at what frequency and above will RF fit into the opening?

Just cover the open RCA jacks with copper foil. Also, is anyone suggesting something other than RFI/EMI rejection is going on here? For example, if the caps are used to cover unused RCA jacks on unplugged components.

Great "explanation", as always...

That's true for receivers but NOT true for CD players.

Because for like 20 years now they all have lots of extra plugs for surrounds and crap. You can see both the grounding and the cover type here in image 9, they're alongside the modded RCA outs that are connected in this photo.

Technically of course even with the interconnect disconnected the player is connected to the system as long as the power cord is plugged in. That's the way components work with power, neutral comes back to the conditioner, same conditioner everything is plugged into, everything is connected together. Same reason doing something on the panel or anywhere in the house affects the system. So its nowhere near as mysterious as I let on. That was just my usual trigger trolling. Usually catch at least a few bottom feeders, thought I had one but no, your question is legit. Oh well. Its a numbers game. 

Thanks for the opportunity to link to my system yet again. Eventually someone is bound to notice hey, that millercarbon guy he has a system, but the guy who posts 5x as often doesn't? ??? Never know. Could happen.

How can you put the caps on the CD player output if it's connected to the system? 

???

!!!

I was surprised to find they worked even on a CD player that I never use. In other words the CD player is connected to the system, but not selected, and yet listening to the turntable the sound was better with these things on the CDP!

Thanks.

They're RCA caps treated with some of their magic type stuff. Just one of the many nice little gifts Krissy liked to sometimes throw into orders. I got some and as I recall they come in two different versions. One is just a cap or cover, the other is a grounding cap and you can tell because that one has a male pin in the center. Looks just like an RCA plug. Both versions go on unused RCA plugs. Both versions make a nice improvement, and I was surprised to find they worked even on a CD player that I never use. In other words the CD player is connected to the system, but not selected, and yet listening to the turntable the sound was better with these things on the CDP! 

Real simple just put em on and enjoy!
