Believe it or not, the shielding that the non-banana format provides is
worth the hassle of mults. Serge gets around this somewhat by a
comparatively low signal level. Problem is, you've got to run it hot to
compensate for that. Problem is then - like anything else you run hot -
you start to get system noise.

The most interesting mutation of this was the Steiner-Parker modular system.
It used 1/8 inch jacks, but shields were floating (he might as well have
used banana's). There are no grounds connected to any of the jacks, the
cables braided housings served as a faraday shield only.
