Le domaine de l’audio et de la vidéo en est un rempli de détails. Il est pour le moins étonnant de consta- ter jusqu’où cette quête peut conduire les audiophiles dans leur recherche d’optimisation de leur système. Pour preuve, ce duplex de Furutech proposé en remplacement de ceux qui équipent nos habitations qui, même s’ils ren- contrent les normes du code du bâtiment et de l’électricité, pourraient être substitués par ce modèle de Furutech dans

I became interested in power line conditioners when George Tice came out with the Power Block and many companies imitated it. The use of transformers was first a necessity, then a faux p as. Now you pay extra for them. The current cutting-edge conditioners are passive. Enter Furutech. The e-TP80 uses special epoxy resins to absorb rather than filter noise (and possibly degrade the AC waveform). From the Furutech website, "GC-303 is a special material that Furutech layers and bonds to the interior bottom-plate of the chassis (see illustration below).

As an engineer, I find it very gratifying when I review products that apply science to great success in delivering outstanding sound—a difference you can readily hear, provided the overall system can resolve high quality audio. Furutech has been in pursuit of such scientific application to sound reproduction. Their NanoFlux Speaker Cables, NanoFlux Power Cables, and GTX-DR NCF receptacles use a conformal nano-scale coating of their proprietary blend of silver and gold. A nanoparticle is a microscopic particle with at least one dimension less than 100 nm. Furutech applies their nanoparticle silver-gold coating on Ultra-Pure, Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC) conductors to smooth the conducting surface at the nanoparticle level, increasing conductivity.

These days, you would be hard pressed to find an audiophile who doubts that power quality can affect what we hear in our audio systems. After spending the last 25 years examining many under- appreciated aspects of audio reproduction, I’ve found it to be the inescapable foundation for building a true high-fidelity system. After considerations of power quality, there remain acoustics, support systems, coupling / decoupling and cable design to be dealt with. In 2005, I decided to share results from my years of investigations and thus was born Audio Conseil and my company, inovaudio ®, a registered Canadian trademark.

Furutech has a new cable riser, named the Booster, which utilizes the company’s Nano Crystal Formula (NCF) technology. I have been using Furutech NCF outlets, outlet covers and power cable connectors for quite a while and consider them a significant upgrade to my reference system.
