RCA cables have approximately symmetrical insertion/removal force levels because they generally lack any provision for latching. That mean that if the force required for removal is so high that it is impossible to remove without damaging the equipment, then excessive force was probably needed to insert it. An obvious strategy for safe usage of RCA cables quickly evolves to those with common sense - don't use a cable that requires excessive force to insert. Furthermore, if a cable becomes stuck in a socket any person who is a little handy with the proper tools can remove the cable without damaging the audio gear the cable was plugged into. Sometimes just a little shot of contract cleaner/lubricant will suffice. In other cases some light metal working tools can be used to remove the offending cable. Obviously, "Drmatt" you are not aware of these options since you keep talking about cables being stuck and not removable without damaging the equipment. > > Nor was there a statement about the value of any such equipment or > whether it was permanently ruined, > None needed. I did say that the equipment was valuable. If the equipment is not valuable, then why all the hand-wringing about ruining it? Are you just making this up as you go along to get some attention? I never said that the equipment was permanently ruined - that's another one of your fantasies. > > those both appear to be your own little ideas. > Not at all. The idea that the equipment was valuable was based on a reasonable presumption that you weren't talking about audio gear that is cheap junk. The issue of the equipment being permanently ruined is 100% your invention. > > Suggest a little bit more biting of the tongue occasionally because as > usual the comment above comes across as if baiting for a fight. What to say about statements that someone makes up out of whole cloth, ascribes them to someone else, and then makes a big show of taking exception to them, such as these? I can't seriously recommend that you bite your tongue "drmatt" because of all the serious harm that could do to your person. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
