This reminds me, last week , another example of wrecked phono sockets on
a powered speaker.
People buy nice gold coloured , gold plated , connectors on blingey
leads and pay over the odds for them. But the phono jacks are crap, the
ground connector is a solid ring, no axial cuts to them, so they jam ...

High friction level + meaty connector body + fat "oxygen free" triple-
plaited silver-loaded wire.

Great combination. Requires lots of insertion force AND provides lots
of angular pull once in ... leading to the phono sockets breaking
free of the PCB.

Money well spent.
