Any recommendations on "best audio" non-Chinese copper banana plugs?

Love the form of the viborg. Very "cardas" looking... which I like with my Cardas speaker posts, but don't like paying Cardas prices.... but will if no other choices. .

Banana plugs require a metal with memory so I suspect you will only find them using a copper alloy. My guess is those sourced from manufactures in Taiwan, and Japan would be higher quality of metal and plating. USA and European manufacture as well.
I have never looked into Banana connectors to find a good source.

  I guess no one remembers Edison speaker wire binding posts which could accommodate either a spade connector or a banana plug. Edisons were made of copper (tellurium?). You could never get them really tight on a spade connector, because the metal was too soft to take much torque. I think I still have a pair or two.

    I remember the brand. I have used Vampire copper binding post of years. Copper holds up well in this application.
