My understanding is that it's all inputs, audio and video.

When we say input.....does it includes preamp input and video input? Or is it just audio input including coaxial.

Should be any input bro, without the caps they could act as an RFI antenna and pollute the internal circuit.

But don't use it on the output connectors.

ya, I asked him to demo at my house:

equipment
Amp : Onkyo TX-Sr875
CD Player : Marantz CD5003
Spk cable : Pasar road 12AWG cable
spks : 16 years old pasar road Richard Allen 2.5 way

1. tested with Gold series 10 pieces : sounded warm
2. tested with platinium series 10 pieces : sounded bright

just cover some of the input RCA, he said most important is to cover the Coaxial RCA.
It is for the sound, so all audio input RCA posts if possible.
I prefer GOLD.


also tested to change the original power cord to MK plug with future tech 314 II cable, it sounded clean.

recomend to call this guy.

That's just the bi-wire link. If you are not doing bi-wiring then need a link between upper and lower set of speaker posts. This applies to all speakers that are bi-wirable but you're not doing bi-wiring.

If your speaker has bi-wire posts but you're single wiring, you must have the jumper link to get both high and low frequencies.

The link can only be removed if you use bi-wire speaker cables. Low quality jumpers can affect the sound quality, you can replace them if you got extra budget.

The jumpers should already provided with the speakers. But if you wanna replace higher quality ones, can buy online at Russ Andrews, FutureShop, etc. I think local shops also got.
