Cinch is a connector company that makes hundreds of types. I've never
come across the RCA phono referred to as a Cinch. The shorthand
nomenclature, certainly here in the UK, is always Phono.


Phono is shorthand for RCA? :-)
Frankly since RCA are the common cheap video connections these days, and
turntables are now fairly rare, I prefer not to use the term "phono" any
more.
