is what I don't agree with. Where you tap in to parallel them has nothing to do with the output. Actually it does affect how much you can access, but you would get higher output with the suicide cord than you would with the banana plug cord.

Not that I would do that as it would be dangerous and overloading the receptacle.
So long as we agree, I guess we're good. Even if we don't, we're still good. :)
