Yeah, that's a common problem. Those jacks are cheap as hell. I've had that issue with several pieces of equipment.
I loved when you could go in RS and just look at all the random shit they had. Woofers, tweeters, 100 feet of coax in a neat little box, little bags of LEDs and about 1,000 things that I have no idea what they were! The internet is probably better though...more selection and what not.
One thing they still have, for some reason, against all odds-- the 50' shit brown RCA cable that looks like they're making them up in the back and just throwing them in whatever plastic bag comes to hand.
They cost a few bucks, and work fine. I've sent all kind of signals vast distances with these cables and some equally cheap-ass male to male RCA barrel connectors. That's your classic Radio Shack, right there.
