A thread on another group suggested that these are the norm today.

no way!

Not
being one who avidly reads the Hi-Fi press, is this so? The poster was
adamant it was the *only* way to feed 5.1 speakers etc that have internal
amps, as unbalanced would cause hum etc. This was from the US, though.


RCA jacks are unfortunately still alive and well in the USA.

That seems to be the situation everywhere, Arny.
Is it normal in the US to refer to RCA connectors as jacks?
That seems open to confusíon. What do you call the
TRS plug which we refer to as a jack?
