Our Stateside members may not totally agree. |
True - and we talk of "phono plugs and sockets" - originally used [by RCA-Victor, hence their alternate name of RCA plugs] to connect external record-decks to existing radios/amplifiers in the same way as 'gram' sockets on British radios.
Sidenote - a stateside friend refers to their cable-TV box as the "stunt-box", presumably because it can perform stunts like pausing/rewinding live programming.
