So, is the theory behind these BFA plugs that it has a higher contact area than the springs in a normal banana? Because almost the whole cylinder is making contact?
On the Viborg, these look nice with the linear spring, should have similar contact area to the BFA's. These for example: Amazon.com: Viborg VB402R Pure Copper Speaker Banana Plugs (4pcs/Set) Rhodium Plated, Hi End Red Copper Audio Banana Connectors for HiFi Speaker Cable Wire DIY : Electronics
About the same price as the BJC locking one's, and I agree the locking feature is controversial.
Honestly I am liking the Viborg one's they look like just the right balance between price and quality... hex key instead of flat-head screws, comes with the shrink tube, even has choice of colors.
Thanks much
