Hello all, this is Luna from China.
I learned the plugs as below, that's from Furez Audio, can only find it in the distributer Douglas Connection or Audiogears, is it a European brand?
This type of plug is quite different from BFA and others, and want to know how it works, i

They're nice but soft. The pure copper ones will oxidize very quickly, so unless you want to clean them regularly, like every 6 months to a year, get the silver-plated copper version.
The parts of the connector in contact with the receiving banana terminal will still be clean copper. This does bring up the discussion of how the audio signal travels, though - is it through the metal, or on the skin? If on the skin, then oxidized copper isn't a good thing, since it's non-conductive.
I've had both, but once I discovered the copper oxidation, I did not think to take any measurements before switching to silver-plated version. May have been minimal increase in resistance? Who knows, but that would have been all I'd have been able to measure for with my rudimentary equipment.
Doesn't matter though, because measurements don't matter that much - the question is whether the sound/signal is affected, and that's an ear thing.
At any rate, the elastomer inside the connector makes for a pretty tight connection. You have to be careful inserting them into the banana terminals, because sometimes they're so tight, you can crumple the connector. I've done it. Trust me, you don't want a crumpled connector. It's almost like trying to jam it in and missing the hole by an inch, and you can wind up with a severely damaged banana.
Also, due to the pure copper construction, you will need to support your cables. The weight of your cables will bend them at the very least, if not just slowly break them off.I disabled signatures.

I learned that the conductivity is very good, but you need to pay attention to it, it is easy to deformIt works excellent! The best plugs on the market!

Is it really?!? How do you know? It's not talking like Ahnold.AI
It did PM me with photos and ask me to call on Snapchat, though.

I can't believe this got past you guys.At any rate, the elastomer inside the connector makes for a pretty tight connection.

Thank you so much for the explanation and experience, that's really helpful, now i can know that plug clearly, i'll try other type plug.
Difinately, this plug can only support the soft and light cable, seems they change Tellurium Copper, more harder than pure copper.
Everyone know sliver is the highest conduction efficiency, easily to oxidation. pure silver plug is quite expensive.
Well, the oxidize of the plug is normal and you cannot stop it. even if you cover it. In China i know that white powder which is called Begonia powder. Commonly used in hardware electroplating factories, jewelry factories, etc. Can remove surface stains, rust spots, etc. from the product. I believe in your country will have similar products, cheap but really useful. -
Oxidized Silver still conducts better than copper.

thank you, have you test it and do you have any data? -
