AudioQuest SureGrip BFA Silver (2 pairs) Banana Plugs

I love banana plugs - they work really well in my Paradigm Studio speakers. Nice tight grip, solid connections. Quality product.

These are great quality plugs. You pay more for AudioQuest, but they are great products. I purchased 4 sets. One set was clearly a return. The package opening was loose and It didn't come with the pack of stickers or the extra screws, or the oxygen absorber pack. Also, the screws were loosened on each plug. One screw fell on the floor when I opened them. And the plugs themselves weren't as shinny as the plugs in the other packages. They are good enough to use, but for the cost I don't expect to get returned items.

Another great audioquest product but the suregrip 100 is just as good but doesn't have the extra plastic screws at the bottom to tighten down onto the jacket, it still has two screws to tighten down onto the copper.

Works as it’s supposed to. But seems pretty cheap to me. Had to replace two ends that broke off from a very expensive AQ speaker cable. I was pretty surprised how cheaply made these things are. No where near as well made as Monster connectors from the “old days”.

These work good its just that the build quality wasn't what I was expecting. I found the build quality....lacking.

These are super high-end connectors.

I bought these, the Monster QL GMT-H and the GLS banana. I also bought some from Madisound that look a lot like the Audioquest connectors. The ones at Madisound are solid connectors and will work well for audio, but they are harder to assemble and the rubber sleeve slips off easily.The Audioquest connectors are not easy to connect. It takes two screws and I had trouble getting them to hold the first time. They also don't work real well with 16AWG wire. I used 14AWG wire and had some difficulties.Compared to the Monster and the GLS, the GLS are the worst. They wobble a lot. The Monster QL GMT-H also wobbled a little but that was acceptable to me. The ones I bought at Madisound held just as good as the Audioquest but, as I said, the rubber sleeve comes off easy making it hard to work with.Given the choice, I plan to use the Monster plugs because they are quite a bit shorter and easier to install. They are also a lot less expensive. I also prefer to have the red and black already on the connector. The Audioquest are all the same color. I did not like their colored labels.Finally, I note that I bought my Audioquest plugs locally and only paid $20 (for 4, same as these). So, look around before you buy.I gave them a 4 only because at $10 each, they are overpriced.

Remodeling contractors broke my speaker cable and I was so happy to find out these exist. I've not done any A-B critical testing type stuff, but I'm not worried about that since these are so inexpensive and resolved my dilemma with a simple repair.
