Multiple use of banana plugs usually results in loose connections. They just
don't seem to work that well for repeated insertions. That said, it is nice
to have single wire connections, and it is VERY easy to make your own cables.
I've always wondered if the lack of shielding on audio-carrying
single-conductor banana connections was a problem.
