RE: RCA shorting plugs -- good tweak?

What about the new IsoClean All-Copper RCA Caps that Music Direct sells? They state that they are the best caps currently available. They have a center plug on them, so they maybe a shorting plug, whereas the Cardas is just a cap. The Iso-Cleans are $99.00 for a 10/Pack, the Cardas are $45.00 for a 12/Pack ($10.00 each vs. $3.75). Do you think they are worth three times the cost?

Are there different places to use a cap vs. a shorting plug?
Caps on inputs, shorting plugs on outputs or the opposite? Shorting plugs on all? The manufacturers of both just tell you to put them on all of your unused RCA jacks.

IsoClean also has AC Outlet Caps, 24Karat Gold plated copper ($80.00 for a 4/Pack, that's $20.00 a piece!). They say to use them on any unused outlets in your room, and the unused outlets on the back of your power conditioner. Has anyone tried these? I could see maybe using the on the unused outlet of your power conditioner since your power conditioner is usually right next to you equipment. What are your thoughts on these? I'd have to buy 2 4/Packs just to try them out.
