Cable companies do not come much more hi-tech than Furutech as this small selection of its interconnect, speaker and mains cables serves to illustrate. Developed in Japan, all Furutech’s power conditioning, cable and connector accessories are subject to its proprietary ‘Alpha Process’ [see boxout] which is evidently key to maximising their performance.

Being a music lover and affording the gear to be able to really try to reproduce what
musicians were trying to do are t two phrases that are not usually synonymous with
each other. Also as a reviewer who has a real world budget for this hobby puts me in
a difficult position! While reviewing every expensive esoteric cable known to man
(which I’ve done on occasion) can be a lot of fun, it always comes down to what I can
really afford to put into my system.
