[sdiy] why not to use rca connectors

[Fdi]

Hi again, I just find the RCA connector wich in fact connects the ground
before the center pin, but it's very expensive (16 euro) and looks heavier
and bigger than the usual RCA, even the more rugged ones.
It's a Neutrik model NF2C-B/2 (as stated on the RS-components catalog). The
RS code is 464-707.
The "mechanism" is on the male cable connector as I remembered. I post this
reference just as a verification of it's existence.
(boooring)
Cheers,
Fernando
