Another perennial over-achiever in fine audio/video is Furutech. This year I was able to sample several of their new designs, and came away impressed once again with the quality of engineering and the performance of the Furutech line.

C’est sur un concept technologique global que Furutech a bâti sa réputation de leader dans son domaine. Voilà déjà plusieurs années que je suis un heureux utilisateur des connecteurs et câbles Furutech à titre personnel et professionnel puisque je suis devenu revendeur en 2005 personnel et professionnel puisque je suis devenu revendeur en 2005, j’ai suivi de près l’évolution de la gamme, j’ai suivi de près l’évolution de la gamme pour avoir essayé et testé la quasi totalité de la gamme en cours, pour en arriver au sujet du jour, vous présenter la toute dernière génération de câbles Furutech, appelée la LineFlux, qui se situe clairement dans les hautes sphères, tant au niveau budget que fabrication.

It seems no secret in the industry that reviewers do not flock in droves for the chance to review cables. It is understandable as the difference from one cable brand to the next can generally be very subtle, unless of course, we are talking about the difference between an 18-to-20 gauge zip cord at $.35 a foot and a Nordost Odin at $28,000 for 2 meters.

Part of the excitement of being an audiophile is the fun derived from browsing online classifieds. Within our respective budgets, we can have so much fun examining the various listed equipment from the laptop on your lap in a lazy Sunday afternoon. So many times I was bent on acquiring yet another piece of gear, from DACs to loudspeakers, when my wife put a restraining hand on my shoulder just in time. Sometimes the more research and reading I do, the more I appreciate what I have. Still, the classifieds gave me ideas bountiful for further research excursions.

Think of the AG-12 as one of the best tonearm cables within a reasonable budget, and the Silver Arrows are the way to go for on a top-line turntable/tonearm combination. On recent cartridge reviews, the Silver Arrows always extracts the most information from the cartridge.

Pure Transmission" lautet das Motto des japanischen Edelproduzenten Furutech. Perfekte Kontakt- und Leitungsqualität hat man sich in allen Produktsparten auf die Fahnen geschrieben - bei einem japanischen Hersteller sollte klar sein, dass da auch ein paar Phonokabel allererster Güte dabei sind

DeStat This enterprising Japanese company makes a number of interesting accessories as well as a broad range of cable products. The DeStat ($360) is a hand-held battery-powered device that eliminates static charges by blowing a gentle stream of positively and negatively charged charged ions. Traditionally the greatest use for static eliminators has been with LPs, but static can be a problem not only with media CD and DVD use for static eliminators has been with LPs, but static can be a problem not only with media CD and DVD discs as well as LPs but also with cables and hardware components.

Last year, we gave Furutech an Exceptional Value Award for their AG-12 phono cable. It remains one of my personal favor- ites and the reference cable on my three tables that allow an aftermarket tonearm cable. It is very neutral, easy to use and, best of all, rea- sonably priced.

Pure Transmission" lautet das Ziel der Furutech-Ka- belphilosophie. Das im ja- panischen Tokio beheimatete und auch über Niederlassungen in Hongkong und Taipei (Tai- wan) verfügende Unternehmen kann auf eine langjährige Tradi- tion zurückblicken, denn es wur- de bereits 1988 gegründet.

Vi fortsätter att utsätta den topp- testade skivspelaren 6 Perspex från Pro-Ject för uppgraderingar, den här gången en ny drivrem! Som jag beskrev det hela i min recension av spelaren i årets för- sta utgåva av Hifi & Musik, så bygger den nya 6:an i grunden på den ursprungliga 6:an från 90-talets mitt. Vissa detaljer är mer eller mindre helt identiska, som exempelvis den gängade skivpucken, men också drivrem- men.
