To reduce the amount of RF interference entering your system we recommend "capping" all unused RCA inputs.

AudioQuest RCA Noise-Stopper Caps (Set of 10)

 

In a world immersed in RF/EMI interference we all need the sound of silence... Nothing makes an audio/video system more irritable than RF interference- the bane of dynamics and clarity. To reduce the amount of RF interference entering your system we recommend "capping" all unused RCA and XLR inputs. You'll be pleasantly rewarded with a blacker background, deeper sound stage, and a richer more satisfying overall experience.

Blocks a significant path for incoming high-frequency energy to interfere with circuit performance.

 

 

About AudioQuest

AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

Pleasantly Surprised
25 Mar 2024
Verified Buyer
After looking at a much more expensive variety than these, I thought I'd give them a go...

It's a little bit expensive still, but once attached, there was a very noticeable difference: a seemingly much-improved soundstage, deeper/wider, clear uplift across the vocal range, which was easily perceived in the clarity, which makes following the lyrics very easy. A tighter/richer bass offered a little bit more control and solidity to the music!!

As has been suggested before, much-improved detail from a blacker background made these caps, which I've only fitted on the amp inputs, by the way, make the sound seem louder even though it isn't. I am pleasantly surprised by the obvious improvement!!

I've used other types of cap before but nothing has been as good as these, if you like tweaking then these are a very useful addition, very pleased I took the chance, worthwhile purchase!!

PS - Pack of ten was just right for me as well, ten inputs...mint!!

It Works
24 Jul 2020
Verified Buyer
I bought two games to cover the rca of my equipment, it didn't really take much faith that it would work, but to my surprise it works well, I had a problem with the entry of electromagnetic waves in the system, mainly the digital player and DAC.

When I started any motor that generated electromagnetic waves, there was a cut in the signal, as the energy from Brazil does not undergo any treatment, I thought that it could only be due to the impurities of the current, when placing the caps it stopped completely. And I was very satisfied with the result, as for the sound quality I didn't see this improvement, but it is possible that it has gained more quality, especially in cleaning. It was really worth it. In addition to bringing benefits, it prevents dust from entering the audio inputs.

But thanks again Future Shop.

Comprei dois jogos para tampar as rca dos meus equipamentos, realmente não levava muita fé de que iria funcionar , mas pra minha surpresa funciona bem ,eu tinha um problema com entrada de ondas eletromagnéticas no sistema principalmente o digital do player e do DAC . Quando ligava qualquer motor que gerava ondas eletromagnéticas havia um corte no sinal , como a energia do Brasil não passa por qualquer tratamento eu julguei que só poderia ser das impurezas da corrente , ao colocar os caps isso parou por completo . E fiquei bastante satisfeito com o resultado , quanto à qualidade do som não vi essa melhora toda , mas é possível que tenha ganho mais qualidade , principalmente na limpeza . Valeu muito a pena . Além de trazer benefícios evita que entre poeira nas entradas de áudio .
Mas uma vez obrigado Future Shop .

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Reasonable. a box of 10 units is a good offer, still a bit expensive !! I liked the Caps, but they are small and short .., just normal RCA caps .., RCA more fulfilled of superior quality, are only half capped ...

I did not hear any improvements, maybe for this reason, to be part of the RCA for covering !!!

uma caixa de 10 unidades é uma boa oferta, ainda assim um bocado caro!!
gostei das Caps, mas são pequenas e curtas.., apenas tapam RCA normais.., RCA mais cumpridos de qualidade superior, ficam apenas metade tapados...
não ouvi melhorias, talves por este motivo, ficar parte do RCA por tapar!!!

I'll be honest, I bought these and put them on a brand new amp (Roksan Caspian M2) so it's impossible for me to tell if they make any sonic improvement, however, they are very well made and feel like a high quality product. I feel they are worth the money, after all they will last a lifetime and at the very least will keep any spare RCA sockets dust free.

15 May 2016
Verified Buyer
These RCA caps do what they say they do - they reduce the CD player generated noise floor of your system making the sound stage more solid and less busy - helps with the separation of the various musical components in a recording but the more solid confident sound stage imaging is where this purchase helps. It is all incremental - this is one step in improving sound quality and it works - moreover, no dust will get into your RCA inputs
