Customer review of Furutech’s GTO-D2 NCF Power distributor

Power distributor「GTO-D2 NCF(R)」User report

=================================================================================

“The other day, I purchased your power strip, GTO-D2 NCF, and I’m amazed by its effects. I originally used the PS Audio Direct Stream P15 as my power source, and I thought that adding the GTO-D2 NCF might not have much impact. However, among all the power accessories I have purchased so far, this one stands out with outstanding effects. I feel that it has a greater impact than both the ISOTEK TITAN V5 and the P15.
I wrote a review on my blog, and it’s truly a blessing for audio enthusiasts that this is available in the 120,000 yen range.
Thank you very much. I wanted to express my gratitude to the developers, so I couldn’t help but leave a comment.”

Furutech in featured in The Absolute Sound (USA) Editors’ Choice issue

TAS 336 EDS CHOICE LOGO 2023

The following Furutech products are awarded 2023 The Absolute Sound Editors’ Choice:

 

Furutech DPS-4.1 Power cord

“The Furutechs added a sense of acoustic openness… they firmed up the bass and plumped up the midrange, adding gravitas to the resonances… ” “Its sonic effects were more globally presentational and were heard and sometimes felt throughout the system. They didn’t disrupt my system balance; rather, they removed veiling and in so doing enhanced the recovery of micro-information.” “..for those who possess some DIY chops, Furutech just might have the power cord for you. All it takes is a little elbow grease, and you’ll be rewarded with a cord that performs on a par with some of the top contenders, at a considerable cost savings. Unreservedly recommended.” By Neil Gader

Furutech NCF Clear Line

“What most captured my attention with the NCF was its more definite sense of layering and greater sense of immediacy…” “The difference between Clear Line “In” and Clear Line “Out” was one of added focus and air between individual images.” “Bottom line: sensible, cost-effective, and, once heard, difficult to part with.” By Neil Gader

Furutech’s much anticipated NCF XLR connectors are here

… “I salute Furutech’s engineers for the grind of overhauling the legacy XLR plug and endowing it with their proprietary Nano-Crystal2 Formula. Isn’t it amazing that solely for our playback entertainment, their engineers would labour over creating a better connector? I do believe that they did just that, exactly.

… “For decades already, Furutech connectors have been the choice of the most prestigious high-end cable brands. From the same firm now comes and even better XLR and RCA plug. That’s cause for applause; and a humble thank you!”

—- Srajan Ebaen of 6moons.com

Customer Notice: Counterfeit Furutech products shipping out of China

Customer Notice: Counterfeit Furutech products shipping out of China.

We have many confirmed cases of counterfeit “Furutech” product and cases of other brands’ counterfeit product show Furutech’s trademarked “NCF” logo shipping out of China and Hong Kong. Please be advised that while Furutech does supply Furutech made NCF connectors to select cable and component makers, Furutech does not supply the NCF material only for use in a maker’s product. Therefore, if you find the NCF logo on a connector or socket not made by Furutech, it will be counterfeit product (example: Acrolink NCF connectors and receptacles).
NCF is also a registered trademark to Furutech (“NCF” USA Reg No. 5,145,049; “NCF” Germany No. 30 2016 000 978; “NCF” China No. 18881752; “NCF” Japan No. 5855796)

Here at Furutech, we are being vigilant in having Furutech and NCF badged counterfeit product removed from popular ecommerce platforms. However, Chinese based ecommerce platforms AliExpress and Taobao have been problematic and they give little regard to legitimate trademark infringements.
Please be advised that any Furutech or NCF badged product on AliExpress or Taobao shipping out of China or Hong Kong is without a doubt counterfeit.
Also, please note that NO Furutech product or Furutech product part is made in China, so our products are not easily accessible there. Also, Chinese import duties on Japanese products are extremely high, so finding low cost authentic Furutech product in China would be impossible.

New NCF Clear Line AC Optimizer

NCF Clear Line_ussNCF Clear Line_EUs

NCF Clear Line

AC Power Supply Optimizer

It takes just a moment to hear the difference that Furutech’s NCF Clear Line can make to your audio or video system.

Why just a moment?

Furutech’s Nano Crystal² Formula, also known as NCF, has resulted in a number of truly innovative and effective products over the past few years. NCF features a special crystalline material that has two distinct properties—it generates negative ions that eliminate static, and it converts thermal energy into far infrared.

When combined with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder, these crystals become the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material. Created by Furutech, NCF is found exclusively in Furutech products and nowhere else.

Now, Furutech has introduced perhaps the simplest way to implement NCF technology into your home—NCF Clear Line.

NCF Clear Line is an audio grade AC optimizer, small enough to hold in your hand, that instantly enhances the quality of your power supply. Simply plug the NCF Clear Line into any vacant receptacle on either a power distributor or wall outlet. For best effect, use the NCF Clear Line on the same AC line/supply as your system, preferably at a receptacle adjacent to your system.

It only takes a moment to hear the improvement in the sound. You won’t have to switch back and forth repeatedly in order to “discover” an improvement. It’s right there.

You’ll immediately notice improvements in the depth and focus of the sound stage, harmonics and tonal balance with NCF. Low frequencies are cleaner, with a greater sense of definition made possible by a lowered noise floor.

Then unplug the NCF Clear Line from the power receptacle. You’ll immediately miss those sonic improvements. You’ll want them back.

In home theater applications, you will also hear these same distinct results. Just as importantly, you’ll see the difference in your video quality. All you need to do is plug the NCF Clear Line into your home entertainment system and the improvements will be instantly noticeable.

Sharper. Clearer. Yet more natural and easy on the eyes.

It only takes a moment to take your listening or viewing experience to the next level with Furutech’s NCF Clear Line. Find out for yourself.

-               Improves resolution, focus and 3-dimensionality of performance

-               Helps eliminate noise

-               Improves resolution, depth and dynamism of images and video

-               Carbon fiber shell with superior damping properties

-               All conductor parts rhodium plated and treated with Furutech’s Alpha Process

The NCF Booster is almost here!

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.

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.

In Audio Accessory magazine (Japan) top audio commentator Masamitsu Fukuda reports:
…First listening impression after setting the NCF Booster… Something has changed dramatically… muddiness gone… clarity!

Increased sound to noise ratio, strengthened contrast and definition, response speed improved, transparency increased and distortion reduced… improved space, depth and imaging. So surprised by how much of an effect this product brings.

Once set on your system, you won’t want to remove it.
A completely new audio accessory has arrived.

TRPTK recording studio tests NCF

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.

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 Fridmanthe 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.

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

Ag-16

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.
