[QUOTE="Frank Koenig, post: 73570, member: 416"] Re: Home building/living suggestions wanted. I'm not sure what you mean by a "3.5mm phono connector". I'm referring to the TRS connector whose plug has an outer diameter of 3.5 mm and is commonly used as the earphone connector on portable consumer audio devices. A "phono connector", at least in the States, refers to the truly hateful little coaxial connectors also called an "RCA plug" that was used, among many other things, to connect record turntables to their preamplifiers. I have, thankfully, eliminated almost all of those from my life. I also dislike F-connectors -- another invention of the devil. As for the 3.5mm PHONE plug (and jack), to which I was referring, they work about as well as any other TRS connector in my experience. If you want to connect to a portable device without using a proprietary dock, you have no choice but to use one. --Frank [/QUOTE]
