Neither RCA plugs nor 1/8 mini-jacks are very good connectors.
They're both too fragile and tend to be unreliable.The 1/8 mini-jack
is IME likely to be the more fragile of the two. If audiophiles were
really that serious about quality connectors, they would have
demanded and gotten something better, decades ago.

I thought audiophiles were out of the engineering loop according to
Arny, not the arbiters of decisions about home electronics.

Every consumer is implicitly inside the engineering loop, based on his
buying decisions.
