A new kind of audio accessory will be relased by Furutech at the end of October.
The NCF Booster is a multifunctional performance-enhancing connector & cable holder. The much antcipated NCF Booster has been receiving rave reviews in Japanese publications and such was demand that initial production runs sold out to industry insiders in Japan before the NCF Booster even reached audio store shelves.
Furutech has since increased production to allow for international release in late October.

What is the NCF Booster?
It is a multi-material, hybrid constructed performance-enhancing connector & cable holder for superior connetcor and cable damping.
Not only does the Furutech NCF Booster Connector and Cable Holder lift audio cables off the floor minimizing their points of contact with the floor, reducing electromagnetic interference, it also excels at providing NCF damping support for connectors and cables at points of connection. The NCF Booster Connector and Cable Holder allows for the optimum alignment between connectors and sockets and eliminates static – boosting performance by allowing a more pure and clear signal.

NCF: Nano Crystal² Formula
Developed by Furutech, NCF features a special crystalline material that has two ‘active’ properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this remarkable material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional piezoelectric damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula, exclusive to Furutech, is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material.

Recording studio trptk.com tests NCF – Netherlands July 2017

(TRPTK was founded in 2014 by audio engineer Brendon Heinst and music producer Luuk Meijssen, as a movement against the degradation of sound quality and emotional impact of recordings. The only reason why music still exists as an art form, is because there are artists out there who want to keep telling their stories, regardless of what it will take to do so. They just want to be heard! And we want to be there to pass their message through)

TRPTK did recordings with test power cords powering the Sonodore power supply and preamplifier, one test with a cable fitted with Furutech’s FI-50 NCF and FI-E50 NCF connectors, and then one with a regular generic power cord. The recordings of a piece called Luminous by composer Maurizio Bignone played by cellist Maya Fridman – the cello was chosen as it is such an extremely rich and broad-band sound

The signal path was:
- Sonodore RCM-402 60V active powered microphone
- Mogami 2534 Quad Neglex microphone cable
- Sonodore MPA-502 60V power supply and preamplifier (powered with either Empire, NanoFlux NCF, or generic cable, through the NCF test box’s normal or NCF output)
- Furutech FA-aS21 interlinks (12m)
- Merging HAPI at 352.8 kHz with Premium Input Modules
- Digital Audio Workstation with Pyramix 11

All cabling, both power and audio, were by Furutech.
In my personal opinion, there is no other choice for cabling if you’re only happy with the absolute best.
Being very finicky about my sound, there’s only one cable manufacturer I fully trust.
– Brendon Heinst

…I have to say, after this test, I am astounded by the quality of this cable. You clearly hear there’s so much more space in the recording, such an openness I’ve never experienced before.

Ag-16 Silver-plated α (Alpha) OCC Phono Cable

Phono cartridge output is vanishingly small and easily polluted by RFI and EMI. Every element of signal transfer must be perfectly engineered to avoid distortion that robs music of life. If you’re going to the trouble of playing vinyl why swamp the low-level signal in a veritable soup of noisy distortion right at its source!

All enthusiasts are looking for the same qualities: Verisimilitude to the original event, a sense of engagement promoting suspension of disbelief, an immersion in audio and video experience. To engage without effort requires meticulous preparation of the entire playback chain especially including cables and most importantly at the signal source.

The Ag-16 Phono Cable achieves its remarkably quiet soundstage and transparent presentation with silver-plated α OCC conductors, three-layer shielding and external ground wire, even a specially engineered cable clamp to improve grip and avoid any potential distortion.

1.1 meter phono cable available in three versions:

Ag-16 (straight DIN)
Ag-16-L (angled DIN)
Ag-16-R4 (RCA connectors)
Ag-16-XLR (DIN to XLR connectors) – by custom order

The Flux-50 NCF Inline AC Filter

Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF).
Incorporated into selected Furutech products, NCF features a special crystalline material that has two ‘active’ properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this remarkable material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional ‘piezoelectric effect’ damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material. Created by Furutech, it is found exclusively in Furutech products.

The Flux-50 NCF Inline AC Filter lowers noise on every component on which it’s used resulting in very natural and extremely fine resolution down and through the utterly silent noise floor. It improves soundstaging and image palpability and creates musical highs, an attractive, engaging midrange, tight and controlled bass, plus you’ll notice power and dynamics to spare.

The Roxy

New High Performance Power Cord designed for Analog Components

The Roxy Power Cord has been designed and tuned to complement a wide range of analog components. It delivers a balanced energy allowing for a powerful, yet stable and defined bass. Greater extension at both low and high frequencies delivers clears and dynamic imagery in an ultra-quiet soundstage. The new slimline IEC connector also allows for easy connection to light weight components, like phono stages and is perfect for fitting space restricted IEC sockets that can be found on some high-end components.

The Odeon

New high Performance Power Cord for Home Theater

The Odeon Power Cord delivers blacker blacks and more vivid colors and gives sound greater resolution, clarity, and dynamics in an ultra-quiet soundstage where the sound blooms seamlessly from top to bottom without artificial upper-frequency “presence region” glare. The new slimline IEC connector also allows for easy connection to space restricted IEC sockets that can be found on some high-end projectors and HD screens.

Home Theater Phile (Japan) filter section: Flow-28 rceives Gold Award

The Flow-28 is a star performer at eliminating common AC problems, and it does it all without restricting current draw in any way. Furutech, known for its world-class Pure Transmission engineering, build and finish, have done the tests and the Flow-28 does not interfere with current draw. The AC-1501R EMI-filtering IEC input perfectly complements the remarkably effective Flow-28’s ability to eliminate distortion.

Neo Damper Outlet Cover 105-D NCF is Furutech’s “Top of the line” Receptacle Cover. After a multitude of tests involving the best in damping materials, Furutech brings you its masterpiece. This combination of carbon and NCF and Neo Damper will be the final touch to your complete AC chain.

Audio Accessory Meikisho 2017 Judge –Mr. Masamitsu Fukuda comments:

Even with development and application of high-performance AC outlets, it is often the case that the user is not experiencing the true worth of the AC outlet due to poor quality and performance of the outlet cover used with such high-performance AC outlets.

Materials used in the development of outlet covers have always been the major sales point and the task of finding new materials that are conducive to improved sound performance has been a difficult one.

Then Furutech developed an outlet cover formed of Neo Damper and NCF carbon fiber.

Reaching a level of performance not seen until now, this nonmagnetic, nonmetallic outlet cover has won high praise and is a worthy recipient of the Meikisho Audio Accessory Award’s Special Award.

Onegen Publishing’s Audio Accessory Editor – Mr. Katsunori Isayama comments:

Last year we saw the introduction of the GTX-D NCF(R) AC outlet as the first product in the NCF series lineup. Of course, there is the appeal of this NCF material, however I think it was really the synergistic effect of Furutech’s accumulated technical development prowess.

This year again, two years running, Furutech receives the Special Award, for their new Neo Damper outlet cover 105-D NCF. With this concept outlet cover plate, I hope for many audiophiles to easily experience the effectiveness of NCF and Furutech’s advanced technical expertise.
