UPDATE 3/18/2019
Warning: Some of the stack-able banana plugs I got on amazon have too much of a gap between the egg beater like contacts and the shaft. I imagine the knockoff engineer did this to minimize rejection rates when mass producing. When plugged in the entire assembly can easily spin (not a single bit of resistance) since the egg beater has not gripped the shaft. This means there is very poor connection.
Poor connection leads to resistance. Resistance leads to heat. Heat leads to the dark side. I found one of my power leads melted at the connection. Good thing the melted plastic pushed the fitting to one side so it made good contact again and the thermal runaway stopped so no fire. Was a PITA to remove the melted plastic from the connection. Just putting the warning out there to check the joint.
UPDATE 9/8/2017
I found the most amazing connector for this mod for those going super cheap.
