Thanks, That's good to know. It sounds like the IsoClean Caps should be the way to go since they are dual purpose and the others aren't. This way you can use the same IsoClean Plugs on everything.

Did you (or anyone else) notice any performance differences using the IsoCleans vs. the others?

I've always thought of the Cardas caps as dust covers and in no way did they do anything else for my system. The Tweak Shop shorting plugs work nicely when I want to test the noise level on my gear. Basically I short the inputs and with the amp turned on and speaker cables connected listen for noise at the speakers. My amps are dead quiet, no hum no hiss. The TVC is also dead quiet when connected to the amp via ICs and all spare inputs and outputs shorted. However, when connecting the DAC and transport I get varying degrees of noise, albeit when I have the volume control in a position greater then 3 o'clock and my ear next to the speaker. While the Tweak Shop shorting plugs did not reduce the noise, the Iso Clean shorting plugs did. I attribute this in part to their copper make-up.

  Awesome, I'm glad they improved things for you. I think I'll the route of the IsoCleans.
  Used as caps only they look as though they give better coverage of the RCA ring than the Tweak Shop or the MCM Shorting Plugs that Bluelobster, above, has mentioned. They seem to be more heavy duty, made of copper, and better all around.
  
  By the way, what is the TVC you keep mentioning.

    using S&B TX 102 MkI attnuation transformers. The TVC was custom built for me by Kevin Carter at K&K Audio. It is a dual mono design with separate input and volume controls using Seiden switches. For the price, it is one of the best pieces of equipment I have ever bought.
