Default Capacitor location

well from my electronic repair days I remember how a capacitor works, generating a difference between the 2 poles and thus releasing some energy. My question is that this is DC power and has no frequency to it (especially with a capacitor).If I install this nearby the amp's input (shielded twisted RCA) will I hear a sound quality degradation?

I don't know a lot about how they work but the power wire they require you would not want to run near the RCA's. I am sure 6" or so away with good quality rca's would be fine.

I put mine into one of the spare compartments in the back. I built a new top then mounted 3 caps sticking out about 3.5," sorry I'm pictureless.
