The problem with both the RCA plug and the Motorola plug, compared to
other coaxial plugs, is that the hot lead makes contact before the
ground does.

That's because they were never intended to be plugged in to
equipment
under power, due to leakage currents in the AC powered equipment.
There is a Switchcraft version of the Phono/RCA that has a built in
switch to be used hot. It can be wired to short out the connector,
until the plug is inserted.

Explain want difference it would make on a car radio? that is the
only application it was designed for.

A pin connected to a long metal rod, inserted into an amplifier input
-- what could possibly go wrong?

Nothing that you would understand. Leave electronics to those who
know what they are doing, but practice your pathetic trolling somewhere
else.

Michael, do you even read the names of the newsgroups you're posting in?
This is s.e.basics - even _YOU_ were a newbie before you knew everything
there is to know.

And it's rude to insult those who are trying to learn, you arrogant asshole.

By the way, how's that diabetic neuropathy stuff workin' out for ya?

Thanks,
Rich
