Thành lập năm 1988, Furutech là hãng chuyên sản xuất phụ kiện audio của Nhật Bản. Danh tiếng của Furutech đã vượt xa khỏi biên giới xứ sở Phù Tang khi gặt hãi được khá nhiều thành công trên thị trường nghe nhìn. Hơn 20 năm hoạt động, hãng đã có nhiều phát minh công nghệ được cấp bằng sáng chế. Trong bài viết dưới đây, chúng tôi sẽ giới thiệu đến độc giả một số công nghệ góp phần tạo nên những dòng cấp trứ danh của Furutech.
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.
FURUTECH ACCESSOIRES
In de luisterruimte liggen een aan-tal producten uit het uitgebreide leveringsprogramma van Furutech. Deze Japanse fabrikant houdt zich bezig met de productie van kabels, connectoren, wandcontactdozen, zekeringen, blokken en filters. De producten stralen een zekere luxe uit. Tijd om kennis to maken met wat ze bij Furutech bedoelen met ‘Pure Transmission’.
Pure Transmission” lautet das Ziel der Furutech-Ka- belphilosophie. Das im ja- panischen Tokio beheimatete und auch über Niederlassungen in Hongkong und Taipei (Tai- wan) verfügende Unternehmen kann auf eine langjährige Tradi- tion zurückblicken, denn es wur- de bereits 1988 gegründet.
Comme toujours chez Furutech, il n’y a nulle place pour le hasard dans cette fabrication rigoureuse. L’Evolution Power II embarque pour chaque polarité (comme pour la masse) 7 groupes de 35 conducteurs en cuivre OFC de 0,18 mm, tous traités Alpha ! 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. Ils embarquent des conducteurs en bronze phosphoré traité Alpha.

Begin met een leek over de zin of onzin van kabels en je hebt er een hele kluif aan om overeind te blijven in de discussie die er op volgt. Laatst had ik ‘t nog over het nut van netsnoeren, naar aanleiding van de test die u nu aan het lezen bent. Ditmaal niet met een leek maar met mijn aanstaande zwager. Die is iets hoogs bij Nuon, in de techniek, met hogere cijfers voor natuur- en scheikunde, tijdens een voor de rest vreedzaam verlopen verjaardag.
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.
Also, I made one other change when I removed the Ayre gear from my system: I switched from the Ayre–supplied
and –spec’d Cardas cables to Furutech Evolutions. Incidentally, it was right around this same time that I read Jay
Rein’s essay on system synergy.
I had already been using a Furutech e-TP609 power distributor and Evolution power cord. These accessories have
been quiet constants.
“…The quality of silence between and around the notes — the level of black if you will — is indicative of that. It’s not
an artificial deep-space vacuum silence but something that makes it easy to hear the otherwise subliminal stuff. This
ease of far smaller attention demands contributes to the flavor of natura
