Shorties
4.3 out of 5
Get Shorty!
Did you know that the unused interconnect input sockets on your amplifier, CD/DVD Player and TV act as aerials for RFI, polluting the circuit? The cure is simple!
Plug our Noise Reducing Shorties into your RCA inputs (do not connect them to the outputs) for subjectively lower distortion and lower background noise, releasing more detail from your music and better TV pictures too.
They can be used on any analogue and digital inputs.
While you must not use Shorties on outputs, you can use our MiniZaps plugs which are specifically designed for use in outputs. Otherwise, unless you are recording, you get a better sound if you have NOTHING connected to the ‘record out’ sockets.

"Like To Deal, Does Exactly What It Wad On The Tin."
I bought these as a little extra to get free delivery and that it would do the job as discribed. I didn't have my hi-fi set up at the time, so I used them on my TV and DVD player. Not sure if I noticed any difference on the dvd player. Then plugging them into the Composit phono connection on my TV, first plug = nothing, second plug = Nothing. Then inserted the third plug, the sound floor just dropped! Making the sound more open and clear. Although it is a simple and cheap upgrade, I'm not sure if they are worthy of there current price tags or much more. Being the reason for not full marks. It would be nice to be able to have them in different types of plugs.

"Super Value And Easy Upgrade..."
I used five RCA and one Din shortie in my Naim one box system. In my circumstances there was an immediately noticeable improvement in bass definition. True bargain of an upgrade in HiFi terms. Try them.

"Shorties A Must!"
I fitted shorties yesterday that I have had stored away for ages. I forgot to use them when I got a new pre-amp with more unused in-puts. The sound has changed, it is unbelievable. More depth and a bigger smoother soundstage.

"Shorties"
I have used these many times in the past but recently sold an amp.with them still attached so recently purchased a new set. They simply work ! If in doubt try this test. Select an input not being used,turn the volume to maximum and place an ear close to the speaker tweeter.You will hear a noticeable hiss.Turn the volume to zero,power down the amplifier and fit the shorties. Repeat the test and you'll hear a marked reduction of the hiss. In use this leads to a cleaner,clearer soundstage. These little gems are a no brainer for the money !

"It Kinda Works"
I only aspire to HiFi and my hearing is not what it was. But. After a couple of days I found myself listening to music I had put aside. I do not believe this is a subjective experience.

shorties Review
These shorties should become a mandatory accessory to any device using RCA input sockets, which can then be shortened, if unused. Simple but great idea.

"Shorties"
I took advantage of this summers sale and bought the pack of 12 Shorties at a reduced price. I already have had them in my main HiFi amplifier, this lot was to go in the Nad C 320BEE amp I run my PC and Music recording gear through. Wow, absolutely gobsmacked at the obvious overall improvement in sound, It has been so long since I fitted them in my Hifi set up I guess I forget what a significant improvement these little gadgets can make. An essential upgrade for a ridiculously low price.
