The fatal flaw of the RCA connector design is that the cable has a male on
both ends. If you hit the tuner chassis with it as you plug it in while the
Corsair is powered up, the short may take out a circuit board trace in the
Corsair.
There really ought to be current limiting resistors on the 12 V outputs to prevent damage when the hot lead gets grounded.
