The Furutech Audio Reference III XLR was also of such rarity in its alanced suite of
virtues that even with budget components, like the 2,490 Krell KAV-400xi integrated amplifier, it never presented a dull sonic adventure, in addition to conveying the budget Krell’s
dynamic and output potency.
Out of a universe of cable companies, Furutech is among the very few with in-house manufacturing capability
who has also developed its own cable design processes and technologies, as well as establishing itself as a
complete solution provider in cable accessories, offering everything from 96% lead-free “High Performance”
solder to complete cable products, and from 20-ampere “High End Performance” duplex receptacles to
complete AC Power Distributor products.
demagnetizing an LP definitively removed a high-frequency glaze or glare and
seemed to enrich the midband… Demagnetizing LPs works. Better yet, once a record
has been demagnetized, it seems to stay that way… And do not try one of these devices
unless you’re prepared to buy it.”
Furutech to nazwa, która w kręgach przyłączy znana jest od lat. Jej wtyki i gniazda sieciowe, w tym te
montowane w obudowie, stosowane są w urządzeniach i kablach, przy których budżet nie gra głównej roli. Jak
twierdzi pan Frank Yoo, drugi po Bogu w tej japońskiej firmie, za jej sukces odpowiedzialne są dwa procesy,
zamknięte pod jedną nazwą Alpha: kriogeniczne schładzanie wszystkich metalowych elementów kabli i
wtyczek (proszę sobie wyobrazić rozmach tego przedsięwzięcia) oraz późniejsza ich demagnetyzacja.
Furutech is a company renowned for the outstanding quality plugs, connectors, as well as cables it has
been offering for quite a few years, and all that at quite reasonable prices. This time, the Japanese firm is
featuring something far more “ambitious” and exotic as well. Something, nevertheless, addressed at a
very specific group. DeMag is a demagnetizing device for records, discs, cables and any component that
could be influenced by certain static magnetic phenomena. Fact is the sound is negatively influenced by
magnetic fields, as all appliances are sensitive and prone to such phenomena. Especially discs, and
primarily vinyl records fall victims to magnetism and all those problems it causes-problems that have
shown a proven liking to them. But how can this possibly happen, and to what extent can it influence our
sound quality? Let’s have a look.
Also, I made one other change when I removed the Ayre gear from my system: I switched from the Ayre–supplied
and –spec’d Cardas cables to Furutech Evolutions. Incidentally, it was right around this same time that I read Jay
Rein’s essay on system synergy.
I had already been using a Furutech e-TP609 power distributor and Evolution power cord. These accessories have
been quiet constants.
Serious audio and video enthusiasts
understand the importance of clean
power. AC power can often be contami-
nated by voltage spikes, power surges,
ground noise as well as power supply
noise and digital noise from other compo-
nents in your audio video system. This
power contamination can negatively
affect both audio and video quality. High
frequencies can become flat and grainy,
the midrange can become unclear and
thick and bass frequencies can become
difficult to control. Video can suffer from
loss of resolution, ghosting and color
shifting.
Furutech G-314Ag-18E A importância do cabo de alimentação Há alguns anos, muitos para que a maioria dos leitores da Audio se pos- sam recordar, apareceu no mercado uma nova marca de cabos, de origem japonesa, com a designação Furu- kawa. O nome pode não ser muito familiar, mas se a isso acrescentarmos a designação PCOCC, então talvez se faça luz nalguns espiritos.
“…The quality of silence between and around the notes — the level of black if you will — is indicative of that. It’s not
an artificial deep-space vacuum silence but something that makes it easy to hear the otherwise subliminal stuff. This
ease of far smaller attention demands contributes to the flavor of natura
At the Munich High End 2006 show, we saw the new Furutech DeMag for the first time eye to eye – a super sleek,
high- heeled, shiny grey kind of UFO. It’s not completely round but there is a platform protrusion like a landing deck
holding two grated metal plates and two nipples for switches. We made an appointment with the US importer’s PR
man Jonathan Scull for a review. Because the DeMag was so new, Jonathan warned us that it might take some time.
We’re patient so that was no excuse. And then the package from Japan arrived at our doorstep, unopened by
EU customs no less. Here it was, the DeMag, finally, as though it had come a’flying the considerable distance on its
own anti-gravity propulsion.
