MADE TO BE inserted into a spare Ethernet or USB-A socket on your setup, these audio-grade optimisers are designed to enhance playback performance of digital and network music source components by reducing the noise that can enter the path of your system. This is an entirely passive product and contains Furutech’s NCF (Nano Crystal Formula) – a crystalline material that generates negative ions to reduce static and convert thermal energy into far infrared.

MANY DEVICES PRODUCE RF noise that can interfere with the sound from your audio system. Mobile phones and computer systems generate RFI that can be picked up by your house wiring. Also, low-quality switched-mode power supplies, such as those often supplied with chargers can generate high-frequency noise that can be injected back into your ring main and further pollute the sound.

ALTHOUGH FINE FOR connecting printers to your PC, computer-grade USB cables are not really up to the job for audio applications. They may be low cost, but using them to connect your PC to an external DAC can result in unwanted effects on the data signal being transmitted. These effects can manifest themselves as errors in the digital data stream, which the DAC in turn has to correct.

It would seem that the halfway point of the summer holidays is not a very obvious time to make any kind of retrospection. Meanwhile, while individuals untainted by “audiophilia nervosa” focus on such important activities like observing long-term weather forecasts, that allow them to optimize the destination of their next trip, or discussions about choosing their favorite finish and chips shop in one of the seaside resorts, we are still kind of stuck with one foot in Munich-related memories, while gradually unloading the queue of novelties spotted there, which we managed to obtain for testing in the meantime.

In short, their R&D department has hit the proverbial wall, hit a glass ceiling and thus proved that it doesn’t get any better.

Furutech. A front-rank, top o' the heap high-end audio headquartered in Japan. I've followed their products for many years now, and for very good reasons: Furutech builds really great products of the finest materials, and is always operating out at the edge of the possibilities of research and development in the audio arts. Meticulous to a fault, and sensitive to the prospects of finely tuned materials science, they are constantly creating fascinating new, nuanced designs. Their work is always industrial art.

Sometimes reviewing high-end audio cables can feel like checking-in for an overbooked trans-Atlantic flight and being assigned the middle seat in economy class. Ohhh yeah… that torturous middle seat where you're stuffed in between the adjoining aisle seat and window seat. On your left, there'll assuredly be someone with scorching halitosis whom can't stop droning on and on about some trivial story from their past. On your right, there'll likely be an exhausted woman clutching a screaming, teething, toddler with eye-watering flatulence and explosive diarrhea. I'd rather suffer through a 4-hour root canal surgery than to have to undergo sitting in that middle seat for 10 to 12 hours.

Cables have it rough. Last in thought, least in budget, forever to be put to work quickly, and then quickly overshadowed by flashier audio gear. When gushing about an audio system, who starts with the cables? Nobody ever, that's who. Such neglect is a crying shame. Cables bear the precious audio signal like a yeoman's cart dispatched by his ladyship. They're the pack mules in the trip down the Grand Canyon; the Pontoon boat floating down the Mekon river. Without cables, your audio system deluxe is just odd-looking furniture. Cables deserve accolades, no matter how much contrary nonsense is spouted off by cynics. I deny the cable deniers!

We know how analogue cables can enhance and improve the sound of your turntable, amplifiers and more. This is also true of your digital equipment. We also know – well some of us, at any rate – that outside influences give this so-called “perfect” carrier signal a jab, a push and a tweak. This parasitic noise can affect the final sound. Jitter, crosstalk, EMI, RF and the rest can damage the quality from digital equipment.

It is amazing when you realize that nearly nothing in existence is as solid as it seems. Unless cooled down to excessive degrees, everything moves and vi- brates constantly. When you dive into the world of par- ticles, it's all vibration. Not even the particles are solid. They're just oscillating forms of energy. All this is so obvious to us that we only know it from science class. There we first learnt about particles like miniature mar- bles orbiting an atomic nucleus. Later we learnt that those balls don't really exist. Enter quantum physics where even stranger concepts are sprung on us. Nev- ertheless, we can only live by the grace of these ele- mentary particles.

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,

The focus of this review is a lineup of Furutech products. It includes interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords assembled with their bulk cable lines, along with the PowerFlux-NCF 18 factory-made power cords, the GTO- D2 NCF(R) Power Distributor with custom-designed NFC duplex outlets. The premise of the bulk cables is to offer a more economical approach for the DIY assembly of Furutech cables using their wire designs with Furutech termination plugs of your own selection. Scot Markwell, President of Elite AV Distribution assembled the cables for this review to the lengths needed for my stereo.

If you've read any of my previous reviews, you know that I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to audio. More than one time I've read about some amazing piece of gear, rushed down to the high-end audio parlor (remember those?) to take a listen, and came away disappointed. It's not that it always sounded bad (although, sometimes it did), it just didn't wow me as I was expecting. Where I especially cast a wary eye is an accessory item that promises to improve the overall sound of the system. The Furutech NCF Clear Line is just such a product. So when Steven asked if anyone wanted to review it, of course, I said yes.

Sometimes, you can't help but get giddy about a product that most everyone is going to gripe that, "It can't possibly work!" But the fact is the highly debatable yet finely engineered Furutech NCF Booster-Signal I've been lucky enough to be closely reviewing these past few months clearly improves the clarity, focus, resolution, and musical enjoyment of just about any otherwise free hanging or gently lying-about cable you may be using in your high-end audio playback system.

“I gave the NCFs a go on my Pass Labs preamp and dCS Puccini multiplayer. Damn! Yes, the impression was subtle and required recordings of sufficient resolution and harmonic complexity to detect. But it was like giving the soundstage a good sweeping—or taking a dust cloth to a surface and revealing more of the true finish beneath a fine layer of grime. Details and transient cues just had a little more pop and definition.

“What most captured my attention with the NCF was its more definite sense of layering and greater sense of immediacy… ” “The difference between Clear Line “In” and Clear Line “Out” was one of added focus and air between individual images. ” “Bottom line: sensible, cost-effective, and, once heard, difficult to part with.”

Ave vec cette série, Furutech a l'ambition de réaliser ce qui se fait de mieux en matière de cordons secteur, et notamment grâce aux connecteurs de la ligne Piezo Ceramic Fl-50 (R). Ces derniers sont habillés de couches successives de fibre de carbone et de copolymère Acetal, le tout rigidifié par des anneaux d'acier inoxydable amagnétique. Cette structure apporte un excellent amortissement mécanique. Le corps du connecteur combine deux matériaux actifs des particules de céramiques microscopiques et de la poudre de carbone. La partie en contact est réalisée à l'aide du meilleur cuivre, recouvert de rhodium. L'isolation du câble en polyéthylène réduit la capacitance, et le traitement intégral Alpha empêche le bruit induit de se propager.

L'isolation de chaque polarité est assurée par une pellicule de polyéthylène, et le blindage par 9 groupes de 24 conducteurs en cuivre pur de 0,12 mm. La gaine externe en PVC est recouverte d'une tresse en nylon qui renforce l'amortissement mécanique. Enfin, les prises IEC et Shuko sont des modèles plaqués or de la série FI-E11.

Think of the AG-12 as one of the best tonearm cables within a reasonable budget, and the Silver Arrows are the way to go for on a top-line turntable/tonearm combination. On recent cartridge reviews, the Silver Arrows always extracts the most information from the cartridge.

Last year, we gave Furutech an Exceptional Value Award for their AG-12 phono cable. It remains one of my personal favor- ites and the reference cable on my three tables that allow an aftermarket tonearm cable. It is very neutral, easy to use and, best of all, rea- sonably priced.

One of the most overlooked segments of the analog world is the tonearm cable. Many turntables come with a halfway decent cable. Some, such as my Rega P9, have a permanently attached cable that can't be swapped for something else. But if your tonearm has a standard DIN plug or a pair of RCA jacks, here's an upgrade you won't want to miss.

Up until a few months ago, I had been plugging my hi-fi into a Furutech e-TP60 power conditioner, with the power conditioner going into the only AC receptacle in my small living room. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about it, but from the very start of my hi-fi journey, I was concerned about that single electrical outlet: not only was it limiting, it was in desperate need of repair.

You couldn't pay me enough to conduct a shoot-out of 12 DIN-to-RCA phono cables. I did it anyway. Why? Because the cables were there, as was the SME 20/12 turntable, returned from its recent photo session for the cov- er of the May Stereophile. The SME's ex- posed DIN jack made switching among the candidates relatively painless.

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."

able risers are not exactly news, nor are they universally used, accepted or even recommended. In fact, even those who advocate them have trouble agreeing on what they do or how they do it. None of this is, of course, any reason to ignore them.

The path of product development is rarely linear and universally positive, and such has been the case with Furutech’s simple but simply invaluable DeStat, a handheld device designed to disperse static charges found on CDs, but is equally effective on vinyl discs, metal or plastic driver diaphragms and a host of other audio-related items.

f the lengths of wire that connect the various parts of our audio systems, the phono cable is the most specialized, and this makes it the easiest to muck up as well. The infinitesimal signal coming from a phono cartridge, which is measured in fractions of a millivolt for low-output moving-coil cartridges, is far more susceptible to the harmful effects of noise than more robust line-level signals.

It’s been almost a decade since my last review of Furutech products: their G-314AG-18 and Absolute Power-18 power cords. I noted then that Furutech tries to squeeze every last ounce of performance from its products, not only through the use of innovative technologies, but also with obsessive devotion to detail and build quality. It seems that no improvement in sound quality is too small to be worth achieving, and no product can be overbuilt.

If you’re into digital, it may be the Disc Pure CD and DVD cleaner or SK-II electrostatic disc brush.

Part of the excitement of being an audiophile is the fun derived from browsing online classifieds. Within our respective budgets, we can have so much fun examining the various listed equipment from the laptop on your lap in a lazy Sunday afternoon. So many times I was bent on acquiring yet another piece of gear, from DACs to loudspeakers, when my wife put a restraining hand on my shoulder just in time.

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.

These days, you would be hard pressed to find an audiophile who doubts that power quality can affect what we hear in our audio systems. After spending the last 25 years examining many under- appreciated aspects of audio reproduction, I’ve found it to be the inescapable foundation for building a true high-fidelity system. After considerations of power quality, there remain acoustics, support systems, coupling / decoupling and cable design to be dealt with. In 2005, I decided to share results from my years of investigations and thus was born Audio Conseil and my company, inovaudio ®, a registered Canadian trademark.

The word “Reference” is back in the Furutech dictionary. Always on the lookout for new stuff, I watch the manufacturers carefully. Furutech has done it again, I would never have guessed I’d be looking at an “ordinary” wall socket and realizing they could be made better still.

Que vous soyez débutant, ou passionné confirmé, il y a fort à parier que ce qui suit vous concerne. Nous passons trop souvent à côté de la performance en terme de reproduction musicale par manque de rigueur dans nos choix et peut être aussi par manque d'information. Nous allons donc puiser dans la toolbox du magazine, pour vous montrer quels outils existent et surtout comment les utiliser.

Japan… land of the rising HiFi. When one thinks of Japanese cultural sym- bols, thoughts of drift cars, pachinko machines, portable music players, and Shinkansen bullet trains readily… ehm… drift through the mind. Japan is a detail- oriented country. No other society on earth can so happily obsess on making minor improvements to small items to invoke signifi cant increases in overall performance -- especially with cars and electronics.

Q: What do you do when you’ve assem- bled a system you love, and you’ve opti- mized the sound in your room? A. You look at tweaks. Today we’ll look at some interesting new tweaks from Furutech. I have on hand two types of NCF Boosters. The original NCF Booster is designed to hold power cables in place, and the NCF Signal Booster is a scaled down version designed for interconnects and speaker cables. What is Furutech’

Il est toujours étonnant de voir comment le domaine de la haute fidélité audio réussit à innover et à se renouveler à même des produits, des équipements et des accessoires dont certains contribuent à repousser les limites du possible. Ce champ d’expertise motive et anime plus d’un concepteur du milieu à tenter sa chance. D’un emplacement local, on vise le mondial avec le succès en tête.

Il y a bon nombre d’années, nous avions passé en revue le modèle e- TP 60 de Furutech une « powerbar » ou barre d’alimentation comme on les appelait à l’époque qui s’était avérée efficace et à ce point utile tant pour les systèmes audio que vidéo que nous en avions réquisition- né un exemplaire pour la salle d’écoute et de projection du magazine. Au boitier plus rectangulaire que la nouvelle e-TP 66 plus longiligne, ce modèle e-TP 60 au matériau in- térieur absorbant GC-303 propre à Furutech pouvait aussi accueillir six composantes audio ou vidéo.

Le domaine de l’audio et de la vidéo en est un rempli de détails. Il est pour le moins étonnant de consta- ter jusqu’où cette quête peut conduire les audiophiles dans leur recherche d’optimisation de leur système. Pour preuve, ce duplex de Furutech proposé en remplacement de ceux qui équipent nos habitations qui, même s’ils ren- contrent les normes du code du bâtiment et de l’électricité, pourraient être substitués par ce modèle de Furutech dans

There's no doubt. We're living in the world of accessories, gadgets and gizmos. And our (not so) niche high-end audio universe is also not prone to a wide array of high-end audio accessories.

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.
