    They are.

    The Woo WA-33 comes with RCA noise-stoppers and it does lower hiss on sensitive headphones. They can help on big tube amps. SS stuff probably wouldn't have too much of a difference but who knows.

    I sure hope it is. Can you imagine putting noise stoppers on randos and filter out the crap?

    Oh, thanks for enlightenment. Secondhand/free could be worth a try.

    Amazon has a few different options as well as the AQ and Cardas ones. For me personally, I was kinda curious to put some on my Cayin HA-1A mk2 since it is a little noisy but AQ pack of 10 might leave me with quite a few extra lol.

    Wtf this is a thing? This is horseschiit right? My BS meter is pinging. Have a lot of unused RCA jack's on the back of my ZDS.

    @atomicbob Does it matter what materials these are made of? I assume a plastic one will not work.

    You are correct, material matters. Plastic will only act as dust caps. Metal is needed for RFI performance.

    @atomicbob, do you think there is a meaningful difference in performance between (1) gold-plated copper with no PFTE/Teflon insulation and (2) nickel-plated brass with PFTE/Teflon insulation?

    Without testing both on a specific device with known RFI susceptibility, I couldn't predict which would be better for any given circumstance. When testing preamps and amps, I run quick tests with / without external grounding and input terminations to see which combination yields best performance.
