- irq11 9y agoRCA jacks are also widely used, when size and weight aren't a factor.
- tomc1985 9y agoreel-to-reel wasn't ubiquitous, and RCA jacks are still charging strong. The rest of the world doesn't need or want to rotate from perfectly working and good stuff because they don't want their shit breaking all the time. None of these new school dips seem to care about interoperability, or the TRILLIONS of devices out there today that use those ports (everything from TI calculators to 70's stereo amplifiers to random garage kit) with their simple and easy-to-analyze signals. We are the center of this complexity fetishism, and we should be ashamed of ourselves for it.
- donretag 9y agoMy turntable still uses RCA jacks. ;)
- sli 9y agoYeah, same. The amp I used takes RCA in and banana plugs out, and it's nowhere close to old. RCA is far from dead.
- marssaxman 9y agoRCA jacks are still ubiquitous in my experience; is there some movement to get rid of them?
