Furutech’s top-of-range Lineflux NCF phono-to-phono interconnect cables “employ all kinds of exotic aerospace-grade materials and process,” writes Martin Pipe in the magazine’s March issue.

Let us not beat about the bush. These beautifully-fin- ished but, at £342 a metre, expensive DSS-4.1 speaker cables from Furutech are big. Really big. With an outer diameter of no less than 19mm, we're talking bigness of towing-boats pro- portions. And they're heavy.

FURUTECH FT-809 TORQUE GUARD BINDING POSTS £110.00 PER PAIR.

After all, it is more expensive than many families' cars and could likely sustain an entire village in a famine-hit part of Africa for a month. When you've parked the ethical issues, and taken the product on its own terms, it doesn't seem quite so objectionable.

FURUTECH DF-2 £1,695 Warped vinyl has to be one of the most frustrating problems to beset the blessed wax. It's the ultimate tease; the music is so near, yet so far. There have been attempts to tackle this problem in a scientific manner. Both Clearaudio and Furutech released gadgets to tackle warps within a controlled environment some time ago

FURUTECH DEMAG £1,245 In my column In September's HHFI World, I covered a range of gadgets that claimed to demagnetise both your vinyl and CDs. Magnetic effects on both black vinyl and CD media have now proven to be a factor in degrading sound quality. Certainly, when I made comparative tests with 'The Talisman' from US-based Walker Audio, priced at £200 (www. audiophilecandy.com) and Bedini's 'Ultra Clarifier Quadri Beam', priced at £225
