Cables
There is
a lot of "snake oil" out there (look it up on Google).
Cable should seamlessly and transparently transmit the sound,
without adding or subtracting from it in any way. Any
cable that purports to be difficult, different or sensitive,
very probably is. We understand cable, we are engineers,
and we know what sounds right.
If you buy the
right cables the first time, it will save you money in the long
run, take a long deep breath and just go for it.

tonearm
cable

Made
from pure silver this is simply the tonearm cable to have.
From ToneAudio
magazine : "Last year we gave Furutech’s AU12 tonearm cable an
exceptional value award, and the new Silver 12 takes things a
big step further in clarity and dynamics. It uses Furutech’s
Alpha Pure Silver conductors, Alpha Rhodium/OCC RCA connectors
and a CF or L DIN connector along with Furutech’s Alpha Cryo
process. Bottom line: this is the best tonearm cable I’ve had
the pleasure to use."
If you have and SME
V or better, then you owe it to yourself to have this cable. We
use this cable on our reference SME20/3 Benz LP-S system.
• α (Alpha) Pure Silver Conductors

“The Furutech cable sound is easily described as
one that completely avoids those peculiar
striations that result from highlighting, the
providence of certain silver cables that
emphasize edge definition for nearly surreal
image lock. Such sharp edging then becomes
synonymous with etching. It gives a short-lived
appearance of exceptional detail - short-lived
since such sound is not only unrealistic but
fatiguing.
“The Furutech cables patently don't cause this.
However, they are exceptionally detailed. I
can't help but think that the hexagonal barrel
innards [Formula GC-303 Modules] are at least
somewhat responsible for this wealth of clearly
intelligible inner detail. Rather than throwing
detail at you, they throw out inter-note noise.
While the end result might seem the same -- more
detail -- the way it communicates is very
different. Put plainly, the Furutechs never
fatigue even at elevated levels yet they do
remain ultra resolved.”

Interconnects
Refinement Personified : All audiophiles search
for the same qualities: Verisimilitude to the
original event, a sense of engagement promoting
suspension of disbelief, a visceral immersion in
the audio video experience.
The dilemma faced by many is that poor recording
values are more apparent as audio systems gain
clarity, transparency and resolution. Recordings
that are acceptable sounding on a compromised
system may grate as the bass, midrange and upper
frequencies open up.
The wideband, smooth, extremely low noise and
utterly musical presentation achieved by
Furutech’s beautifully finished Lineflux cables
is down to meticulous engineering and a careful
audition of various suitable materials. These
results in the superb overall balance of
qualities that Furutech is known for that allow
you to feel, experience and communicate with
music.
Furutech Lineflux interconnects feature
solid-core α (Alpha) OCC conductor, double-layer
shielding, and a high-grade polyethylene
dielectric with insulating materials that
further dampen the transmission line. The
substantially-built extremely nonresonant RCA or
XLR connectors are finished in layered carbon
fiber and stainless steel with rhodium-plated
pins. The results are extremely fine
resolution down and through the very low noise
floor, improved soundstaging and image
palpability, a musical, attractive, “round”
midrange, tight and controlled bass, plus power
and dynamics to spare.

Enthusiasts know that everything in the signal path makes a
difference and that what they see and hear is, in a very direct
way, the AC power itself. The sweeping way in which Furutech
goes about thoroughly engineering and refining their products is
a tour de force of detail and design work.
Powerflux conductors are 68-strand α (Alpha) OCC twisted around
μ–conductor strands with a special-grade PE insulation or
dielectric. (Alpha conductors are fine OCC wire treated with
Furutech’s Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetizing process.) The
dielectric is surrounded by an inner sheath of RoHS-compliant
PVC incorporating carbon powder that enhances damping, and that
in turn is covered by a full α (Alpha) conductor wire braid
shield. Another flexible PVC outer sheath and a Nylon braid
jacket finish the job.
• Furutech
FI-1363(R) Cryo Treated Rhodium Plated UK Mains Plug

Piezo Ceramic series connector housings are made of layers of
carbon fiber in a damping and insulating acetal copolymer
surrounded by nonmagnetic stainless steel. Europe version
features FI-E50(R) Schuko Connector
• The connector bodies combine two “active” materials: Nano-sized
ceramic particles and powdered carbon. Nylon and fiberglass are
incorporated as well forming an extremely effective,
mechanically and electrically nonresonant connector body that
may just be the most sophisticated in the world.
• Piezo Ceramic series connectors feature α (Alpha) Pure Copper
conductors equipped with Furutech’s advanced Earth/Ground Jumper
System (US Patent No.: 6,669,491)
• Patent-pending metal cable clamps improves grip and reduces
mechanically- and electrically-induced distortion -- also

Request
The Effective Diameter of Your Music!
The link between speakers and amplifiers is one of the
most critical in a system. Speaker cables carry high
current and require low resistive loss to avoid turning
part of the signal energy into heat; high performance
construction techniques call for large cable diameters
or bundles of smaller conductors for an effective large
diameter. Low resistance also keeps an amplifier’s
damping factor high avoiding uncontrolled driver
movements.
Furutech specifies α (Alpha) OCC Pure Transmission
conductors terminated with beautifully-engineered
high-performance rhodium-plated nonmagnetic pure copper
spade connectors for the amplifier end and
rhodium-plated banana connectors at the other end. Other
connector combinations are available on request. The
substantially-built extremely nonresonant connector
bodies are finished in layered carbon fiber and
stainless steel. The dielectric/insulation is high-grade
PE reducing capacitance and improving mechanical damping

PA-2075DR
Oyaide
straight tonearm cable for SME and Jelco
PCOCC-A is a core component of all PA series line-up and is a
key factor for high-quality and high-performance only from
Oyaide Electric. Each model of PA series has its own concept and
identity individualized by materials and structures.
The PA-2075 coaxial cable is a parallel-layout structure
designed to be compact and lightweight. In order to reduce
conductor resistance and transmit weak analogue signal
effectively, the overall diameter of the conductor strands was
increased to 0.5sq. The high density spiral shielding structure
is composed of PCOCC-A for its highly effective behaviour in an
ultra compact layout. The semiconductor (carbon PVC) layer is
provided for the purpose of eliminating static electricity
without exerting any influence on the conductor. As an
insulator, we selected high polymer polyethylene which has the
same permittivity as Teflon but is halogen-free for audio
application.
The genuinely innovative product is produced by applying the
latest materials and structures based on solid data. PA-2075
expands possibility and enjoyment of your life with analogue
audio. This is the cable that we used on the Timestep EVO
when Hi Fi World reviewed it. It's a really great cable
and truly remarkable value for the money.

Interconnects transfer information from a source such as a CD
Player or Turntable to the preamplifier. They must have
low inductance, minimal capacitance, good linearity, good
frequency response and must not suffer from any form of
microphony. Thin sliver plated wire has its place in
Microwave engineering but can suffer from microphony and can be
highly capacitive. We use the Timestep Interconnect at Hi

Loudspeaker
Cables
All our upper end amplifiers will source >80 amps of current, not many cables
can handle this. Loudspeaker cables are notionally better
if they are big, but copper is very expensive.
Loudspeakers often exhibit low impedances and heavy low loss
cable is important to get the power from the amplifier. We
must never forget that loudspeakers will generate significant
"back emf" and this should be minimised, again heavy cable
achieves this. When using thin and "special" cable, the
amplifier cannot properly "couple" with the loudspeakers
and this will give a characteristic sound. The cable sounds
differently but this is not good, as we said above "the cable
should seamlessly and transparently transmit the sound, without
adding or subtracting from it in any way".
