I own a systemful of Cardas cables, and think they are a good product and a good value. I have no experience with Cardas Caps, and don't intend on getting any. What I think these are is an absolutely genius idea from a marketing and profitability standpoint. They are the perfect answer to a question that nobody has ever needed to ask, and play brilliantly upon the famous neuroses of audiophiles. Here we have a product that - at least theoretically - makes logical sense, passes the "Couldn't Hurt" test, and looks and feels swell (and apparently can engender a little of the same feeling in their owners). They seem inexpensive when considered on a per-item basis, but I am sure that folks such as Leo above will testify that like playing a slot machine, this is one "cheap thrill" that can quickly get out of hand. My hat is off to George Cardas (or whoever's working for him) for coming up such an obvious-seeming idea - one which I'm sure has tweak-merchants everywhere smacking their foreheads and exclaiming, "Why didn't I think of that myself?!"
Do "Cardas Caps" make a difference?
A new inexpensive, and quite compelling, tweek are the caps George Cardas makes to cover unused input and output jacks, therefore rejecting stray EMF. This is a logical tweek, and I trust George's integrity here, but my question is: How noticeable is the improvement? Can everyone who has tried them hear a difference?
