Ultralink is XLO's parent company. Their connectors are made in-house in Canada (maybe some in USA) so they aren't cheap off-shore stuff.One thing to note is that this type of compression-fit connector is best suited for fine strand, stranded conductors (high strand count). It is not as adept at terminating medium strand count stranded conductors or solid core wire with, as the connector's "nut" complains about the torque, and a firm-fitting is not the best (it likes a softer "push" to torque against).
However, since a similar hollow pin type banana has not been found in my research at least, it can be soldered with some finesse (it's a worthy choice for a tricky solder method, either to the main body or the "nut").
The other thing to note is; if the conductor is soldered to the connector's "nut", it will be in effect a modular termination, in that an Ultralink PRO-SPADE can be screwed onto the "nut" for a possible connector swap. While a modular connector is not optimum due to another surface connection, it can be a handy thing (such as MIT's modular "iconn" speaker connector system is).
Here's one source for the Ultralink PRO-BANANA (a set of four, I think):
