There are opposing views regarding the importance of the phono cable in an analog playback system.
Advocates for this unassuming length of wire point out the minute signals coming from a phono cartridge —
measured in fractions of a millivolt for low-output moving-coil cartridges — and thus the opportunity for all
manner of noise to muck things up. Naysayers will also point to those teeny-tiny signals, proclaiming that
anything so small doesn’t need a specially designed cable for transmission — and, by the way, cables don’t
make a difference anyway.

Furutech’s flagship Reference III cables are of the thick, weighty and slightly unwieldy kind that suggests performance to high-end standards and a price to match. That’s not a bad thing: after all, when you are spending lots of hard-earned cash on pieces of wire that are supposed to make your system sound better, you want something that doesn’t only sound as good as promised, but also tangibly looks and feels expensive.
As any vinyl fan will know, there’s nothing more frustrating than a priceless LP record warped so badly that your turntable’s tonearm and cartridge simply won’t track it anymore
Muita gente ainda não se deu conta que a diferença entre um bom cabo e um cabo de referência está justamente na capacidade e domínio que um fabricante tem de todas as etapas desde o desenvolvimento até a aplicação de novas tecnologias corretamente
Power cords get little love from perfectly rational people. Yet if power supplies make/break component sound; and if
power cords activate said power supplies with the power utility company; then power cords are a direct extension of
the power supplies they connect to and music signal becomes modulated power supply action. AC wires ought to be
more important than the throwaway wires with molded plugs that came with your gear then. There’s current delivery,
pickup and transmission of noise from either end of the cord – from your AC wiring and with it,
Każde „działania” z akcesoriami wywołują oddźwięk odwrotnie proporcjonalny do obiegowej
opinii i ich ważności. Tak jest np. z wtyczkami sieciowymi. Z każdym razem, kiedy poruszamy tę
kwestię wśród Czytelników „HIGH Fidelity OnLine” momentalnie tworzą się dwa obozy – tych co
są ‘za’ i tych co są ‘przeciw’.
Do you have a precious collection of LPs?
If you do, you’re probably fighting an
uphill battle against dust and static. You
may even have some discs that are
unplayable because they won’t lay flat any
more. If this description fits you, or if you
are new to the vinyl scene, Furutech has
designed some audio accessories to give
you the upper hand over Mother Nature.
You may ask why you need to remove
static electricity at all. First, the electrical
charge can lead to pops and crackles dur-
ing playback. Second and more impor-
tantly, the static charge attracts dust into
the grooves like a magnet. Dust will give
you more interference and will build up
around your stylus as it traces the groove
