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.

Unfortunately so, it seems.

Is it normal in the US to refer to RCA connectors as jacks?

No, just the jacks. We call the plugs, well we call them RCA plugs.

One might think that if RCA jacks are still alive and well, that maybe,
just maybe the plugs are also alive and well. Or not.

It is true that inference is also alive and well in most parts of the world,
right?
