AS THE CHEAPER of two new
power cables from this respected
Japanese specialist, the Roxy is an
expensive-looking product with a
mains plug that is beautifully built
and finished – something that won’t
come as a complete surprise to fans
of the brand. It hasn’t scrimped on
the cable either; this has a 37-strand
silver-plated OFC conductor for live,
neutral and earth, and each has a
five-layer dielectric. The conductors
are enclosed by a polyethylene
dielectric, and all three are wrapped
in a cotton inner filler, with a paper
barrier layer, an outer sheath in
lead-free PVC and finally a tough,
nylon yarn braid outer sleeve.

Sometimes, you can’t help but get giddy about a product that most everyone is going to gripe that, “It can’t
possibly work!” But the fact is the highly debatable yet finely engineered Furutech NCF Booster-Signal I’ve been
lucky enough to be closely reviewing these past few months clearly improves the clarity, focus, resolution, and
musical enjoyment of just about any otherwise free hanging or gently lying-about cable you may be using in your
high-end audio playback system.

A udiophiles have been known to spend a lot of time selecting a power cord. Indeed, these devices are indispensable links-nothing happens without them. But what about the other indispens- able accessory that enters the listening room right in front of them the AC wall receptacle? Easily overlooked on the enthu- siast audio checklist, and just as likely to be a cheap dual outlet that a contractor picked up at a big-box store for two bucks. Thin internal copper and poor electrical connections and contacts cre- ate impedance issues and losses in connectivity and conductance that affect performance.

When I first spoke with Scot Markwell, US Distributor of Furutech products, at Elite Audio Video Distribution in LA, and a longtime colleague of, and setup man for, the late Harry Pearson, about the opportunity to review a full loom of Furutech flagship cables and passive power devices, I admit to being more than a little interested.

Da sempre è un tema caldo: accessori o necessari? Ovvero: la miriade di oggetti e oggettini che promettono
da ragionevoli improvement a effetti vicini alla magia hanno una ragion d’essere? Come spesso accade la
risposta non è assoluta ma a volte capita di trovare qualcosa fuori dalla norma.

Makeshift towers of stacked maple or walnut wood flooring samples support the wires to my amps

Take a look at my gallery of homemade cable supports. What a mess! I am embarrassed to show it. With a mid-six figure investment in gear, this is the best I could come up with? I’ve been looking for a cable management solution for as long as I’ve been involved in audio.

able risers are not exactly news, nor are they universally used, accepted or even recommended. In fact, even those who advocate them have trouble agreeing on what they do or how they do it. None of this is, of course, any reason to ignore them.
