Favorite banana plugs?


Hello, wondering if anyone has any strong recommendations for banana plugs.

The Blue-Jeans locking ones are on my list, but they stick out from the back of the speaker pretty far.  I was thinking of something similar but 90-degree.

Thanks

@jeff333 - "Because almost the whole cylinder is making contact?"

I think yes. The whole exterior of the cylinder makes contact. And the copper is sprung and always applies an outward force onto the inside surface of the binding post. It's a very firm fit, never loosens over time and I've never had one fall out. It's really a simple, elegant and inexpensive solution.

I like the simple low mass BFA style bananas over all other bananas and over all other type of terminal connection. Nordost Z-Plug is an example, but you can find really inexpensive options too. I prefer the super simple crimp-on version. I sometimes crimp and solder them on. Get some red and black shrink wrap to cover the exposed portion you don't push into the binding post. Just google "BFA Banana Plugs for many examples.
