Cardas Cab Banana or Furutech FP-202 Banana

Has anyone used Cardas Cab or Furutech FP-202 Banana Plugs and how would you rate them. Is there a better banana plug out there for about the same price.

Be careful with system synergy as the brass/silver combination can make a very strong solid-state system sound sterile. These could be good for a very soft or laid-back system. Ultimately, I think Futurech is superior for metallurgy. The "pure copper" Furutech bananas (CF-202 and FT-212) may have an internal spring to help tension on the banana plug fit. Not sure how this will fit in the speaker binding post as the fit may be somewhat loose (depending). The Furutech copper alloy bananas are a stiffer material (FP-200B and FP-202). The FP-200B can be flexed open more to provide a tighter fit into the speaker binding post (if needed). The Furutechs are available in both rhodium and gold plated.

Great connection and never had a problem. However, I prefer the WBT 0645 mainly for the screw type tightning. Have never used the Furutech but would like to try one of their ac ends on my Cardas GR pc.
