And for those in group who (like me) somewhat dislike the threaded tips on the banana plugs - there is an easy fix. A small dab of thread-locking compound on that last two threads near the base of screw/tip interface does the trick. (Alternately, if you don't need to remove the tips ever again, a silver-filled conductive epoxy like Loctite 3888 should work well.) Two tips: 1) Be careful not apply too much and partially impede the metal-to-metal (thread-to-thread) interface, as this forms the galvanic bond between the banana tip and the body of the connector (not a concern if you are using the Loctite 3888); 2) A decent amount of torque must be applied in tightening the two subassemblies together - no idea of the quantity (e.g. "how many" inch-ounces). You kind of have to feel your way through this bit but the key is to use two pairs of pliers (like Channelocks), whose gripping surfaces have been "softened" with a very thin shop rag or other fabric so as not to mechanically mar the banana plug subassembly surfaces. I have had to do this in the past with a very nice (and very similar) set of cables from Emotiva.
