Furutech LineFlux NCF RCA Interconnect Cable
FURUTECH LINEFLUX NCF RCA INTERCONNECT CABLE IS THERE REDESIGNED TOP OF THE RANGE
Japanese cable and connector manufacturer Furutech has released an upgrade to its top-of-range Furutech LineFlux RCA interconnect cable.
The Furutech LineFlux NCF RCA now features new CF-102 NCF RCA connectors and an enhanced cable design.
FURUTECH NCF
The interconnect is the first of Furutech’s analogue signal cables to incorporate the company’s proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF).
NCF, which already features in selected high-performance Furutech products, uses a special crystalline material that Furutech tell us has two ‘active’ properties. First, they say it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, they say it converts thermal energy into far-infrared. Furutech combines this material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional ‘piezoelectric effect’ damping properties.
FURUTECH LINEFLUX NCF RCA
The redesigned Furutech LineFlux NCF RCA interconnect features new CF-102 NCF RCA connectors, in which the tube pin is a one-piece construction design formed of rhodium-plated OCC injected with NCF. The connectors’ housing is a multi-layered design, in which a hybrid of NCF and 3K silver carbon fibre are layered onto a nonmagnetic stainless steel body. A specially engineered set screw construction ensures firm contact between the connector and conductor. The solid core Alpha-treated* OCC conductor is encased in double-layer shielding, a high-grade polyethylene dielectric and a composite sheath incorporating resonance damping nano ceramic and carbon powder.
All metal parts are treated with Furutech’s trademark two-stage ‘Alpha’ cryogenic and demagnetization process, designed to render the metal “stress-free, stable and highly electrically conductive”.
PRICING & AVAILABILITY
Furutech LineFlux NCF cable is available now, priced at £1,750 per 1.2m pair.
HiFi Pig Says: Furutech has developed some interesting technologies which they have incorporated into these new interconnects.
