No I mean the actual ports the cables connect into, not the cables themselves.

I don't recall ever buying them before but that sounds about right for a non bulk order

I have purchased from Mouser and been happy with the result: https://www.mouser.com/Test-Measurement ... c0&FS=True

I refer to the ~60-70 cent Cinch/Johnson type of 4mm (standard banana) jack, rainbow array.
When in doubt, add resistance.

Necroposting here because now I need something similar:
anyone know where to buy cheap, stackable banana plug (male-to-male) cables? It just feels like $10 for 2 cables is a total ripoff; I don’t even need them to be all that long, maybe a foot at most.
