[sdiy] why not to use rca connectors

[harrybissell]

hOW'S THIS FOR A REASON...

(oops)

The 'spring' in the RCA system is in the socket, which is in the panel,
which
is the part that wears out and has to be taken apart to replace.

Bananas have the spring in the plug, get a new patch cable when worn, no
problem.
