more from the 'Arny Krueger school' of uk.rec.audio-ism:

That it became the predominate connector for consumer audio is IMO a
miscarriage of justice and technology. The good news is that a proper
audio system can be constructed today with audio signals passing
through exactly zero of these techno-abortions.

Out of interest, what's so bad about the phono connector? They've always
seeemed, on admitedly an uninformed anaysis, to me intuative and rather
neat way to terminate coax.

Has a significent, audiable differences between short phono and XLR
terminated cables runs been demonstrated? Or is it merely a theoretical
shorcoming?

What do you suggest instead? I suppose toslink, or phono used digitally?
