I'd see a TRS being pulled out unexpectedly being an issue in a lively environment, but I can imagine for the most part, most of us would just plug the units once and leave it in a fixed spot. So it being unplugged isn't a big problem. Also, the smaller size of TRS in terms of using it is a big plus.
The risk is zero if the following conditions are met:
・ You have no mistakes.
・ It is impossible for anyone other than you to enter the house, and there are no family members, maids, pets, or iRobot.
I sometimes fail and have a family.
I need to be careful and the safety mechanism is worth it.
When I had slipped the TRS before, the woofer popped out and hardened. Therefore, we proposed careful operation.
If you need a small balanced terminal, Lemo and Fischer are recommended.
The shell contacts first and the shell leaves last.
It has a locking mechanism and long-term reliability. The shield is also perfect.
It is smaller than the TRS terminal.
For example, the MC transformer box in the image was made over 15 years ago, but it retains the same operational feel as at that time. There are no contact failures either.
I'm using Lemo. There are medical and nuclear power products that audiophiles like, but I think the S series is sufficient.
I often use mogami2549, in which case ffa.1s.302.clac62 is suitable.
The downside is that it's not widespread and expensive.
