"UL has nothing to do with a line-level audio interface. It's not a dangerous safety issue, so there's no certain standard of measurement under UL code or otherwise exists for rca jacks nor rca plugs for that matter"
So you are saying there is no UL standard for RCA connections? Is there an industry standard for RCA connectors? I mean in terms of dimensions of course, not in terms of materials...
I would expect additional movement and additional weight causing sagging would ultimately defeat a broken/compromised solder joint. It seems more probable the weight of the cable is distorting the shape of the rca receptacle ausing a disconnect. Why does the cable need to be that heavy I wonder?
I suppose trying something like cable dampers that keep the first couple of inches of cable straight might help, but not if the problem is in the RCA receptacle of the CDP. The blocks suggested by the last poster may help with that.
