JAPANESE CABLE AND
connector manufacturer Furutech
has recently launched its Origin
cable series. The first released is this
high-quality power cable containing
three wires consisting of seven
bundles of 35-strand Alpha-treated
micro-OFC conductors. Each wire
is encapsulated in triple-layered,
anti-resonance
A few years ago, I reviewed the Furutech NCF Clear Line AC Power Line Optimizers within my system, and I was impressed by how seemingly simple devices could make such a difference in my system. I always wondered if I could unlock the full potential of those cool devices by pairing them with other Furutech gear instead of the generic power strip I’ve been using for years. When I saw the GTO-D3 Power Distributor, I knew it would be perfect for my system.
After such a long series of tests, I am not only suspecting, but one hundred percent sure that each one of you knows, that the V-1 series is not only a designation of a Second World War era rocket, but also of the latest product line of the Japanese specialist in cabling and all kinds of audio accessories – Furutech.
“Project V1 is an undeniable accomplishment.”
“Project V1 might be the last stop on your cable and power cord journey — the final destination.”
— Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, Jan 2026
Featured in analog No.90, the Speakerflux-NCF is praised by Yoshio Obara for its extraordinary
clarity, vast dynamic range, and lossless reproduction of fine musical detail, establishing it firmly as
Furutech’s flagship speaker cable.
Featured in Audio Accessory No.199, the Speakerflux-NCF-05 is acclaimed by leading Japanese audio critics as a
new reference-class speaker cable, combining Furutech’s highest-grade connectors with advanced NCF (Nano
Crystal² Formula) technology for dramatically enhanced musical realism.

With each new product, Furutech refines its craft further. Music first remains the cornerstone of this Japanese brand, and the Project V1-S speaker cable continues the legacy of combining traditional Japanese sensibility with contemporary advancements in cable manufacturing.
