No; jack is female, plug is male. So either a RCA plug or a phono plug.
Please don't let's further confuse gender here.


So a 1/4" Jack is female? Funny ladies you've known........


Entirely possible. I got a pop-up on some web page to a 'ladyboy' site.

would never have told they were male with their clothes on, some looked
very
attractive in fact.

If you ever go to Paris, (France, not Texas) and you drive along the Bois de
Boulogne at night, there's a whole display of Lady-boys there. Stunning
women even though they're definitely boys.

This thread has moved away from Jacks........
