Persistent hum in 4BSST

For years I've had a slight hum in my amp, I've tried changing cables and power but to no avail although some cable changes did alleviate it. Last week I spotted some Audioquest Noise-stoppers in my HiFi shop and thought I'd try them. The RCA caps come in a pack of 10 and they were just enough to cover my unused inputs on my BP26 and 4BSST (I use the balanced inputs). Now I have total silence. Nirvana.

^ Wow, I toyed with caps a while back, mainly for aesthetics. Never believed they could work, esp with Bryston gear. Their jacks automatically inactivate (open circuit at input) when no cable is inserted.
Nice setup there.
What TT is that?

Thank you for sharing this, i was about to make a home made version of those and did not know you could by them off the shelf
.
I will try them out, much easier than home made.
