Anybody have any experience with Furutech FT-111 RCA's?

Just ordered a set with the rhodium plating to play with. They are in the same price range as the KLEI Absolute Harmony plugs and are also a low mass design, but what intrigued me most is the setscrew connection which eliminates the solder (my experiments with banana plugs in both setscrew and solder termination varieties has given me a clear indication that the best sounding solder is no solder). There's the oxidation issue to consider with a no-solder connection, but I plan to use some hot-melt glue (that remains flexible) around the connection points with these which should seal out the air/moisture, and also provide a bit of damping to the connection and the overall assembly.
