The effect was exceedingly clear. The texture of the paper felt entirely different (in the
scene where a letter is being written). The rough texture of the handmade paper’s surface
became more three-dimensional, and the gradient of white and the texture of the white
peaks were markedly more vivid.

Japoński Furutech idzie za ciosem i po zasilającym Project V1 rozbudowuje portfolio o topowe łączówki Project V1 RCA i XLR.
A thorough investigation of two models of Furutech power
distributors and power cords to test their performance and
expressive capabilities.
(Compared to the previous models) I was astonished by the drastic overall changes.
The frequency response has broadened, extending cleanly to the higher ranges, and
the mid and high frequencies exhibit crisp transients with clear contours. The
accompaniment guitar excels in attack, with sparkling arpeggios. The bass has
improved in resolution and damping; bass instruments display clearer motion.
Cryogenic treatment is key to almost every Furutech cable and connector, as is the promise of exceptional build and finish quality [HFN Mar ’18]. With cables, of course, the material engineering can easily be quantified, but with the Japanese brand’s ‘noise busting’ NCF Clear Line plugs – supplied with RCA and XLR terminations for insertion into unused audio inputs – the science can easily lose some clarity. Prices are £205 for each RCA-equipped plug and £260 for the bigger male and female XLR derivatives.
Balanced interconnects
require an additional conductor
within the screened cable, which
is not needed with a standard
unbalanced one. Such a cable is
intended for use with balanced XLR
connectors to accommodate the
standard and inverted audio signals
from the source equipment with
respect to the earth.
