heheh.I suspect these plugs could upset the RCA apple-cart wholesale, as it is so easy, and so inexpensive to implement, and so damned prevalent, it doesnt take a genius to work out the economics involved.
Of more importance, they offer a more stable impedance than RCAs, and that does affect the sound considerably IME, as the connection then more closely resembles a transmission line, instead of a junction (male and female RCAs have different impedance profiles, and cause junction reflections).
In todays style and size conscious era, using a more compact, higher performing plug and socket that costs less, just plain makes sense. Hell the plugs and sockets cost so little, they could be offered with RCAs as well - with clear notes in the user guide that the RCA connection is sub-optimal, and included for historical compatibilty reasons only...
The world of socketry is on the cusp of change - a new standard needs to be choosen. (and please god, dont ket it be mini-dins...!)
