Furutech FP-S55N - Limited Edition

Alpha Nano-Ag-Au

All audiophiles seek the same qualities: verisimilitude to the original event, a sense of engagement that promotes suspension of disbelief, a visceral immersion in the audio and video experience. They also know that everything in the signal path makes a difference, and what we see, hear and experience is, in a very direct way, the AC power itself.

In fact, the AC power supply is directly in the signal path. As the amplifiers transfer power to the speakers, the storage capacitors are depleted by exactly the same amount. The capacitors try to stay fully charged by drawing power from rectifiers that convert alternating current to direct current from the transformer that draws power through the wall. Ultimately, all you see, hear, and experience is AC current which must be identical to, say, the output of an amplifier, and that AC current travels through the power cord! This is why they are just as important as any cable in a system because they carry the same signal.

Furutech Alpha Nano-Ag-Au is one of the best conductors Furutech engineers have found for sound reproduction.

New technology used in the highly specialized manufacturing process of this ultra-high performance power cable combines Furutech's world-renowned Alpha-OFC conductors with Furutech's extremely effective signal transmission enhancer, Nano Liquid. The Nano Liquid molecules are so small (8 nanometers in diameter (8/1,000,000 mm) that they cover the Alpha-OFC surface and "fill" the concave-convex sections left on the conductor surface during the production process, increasing electrical conduction area and degrading impedance.

The very precise mix of gold and silver super microparticles and the amount of dispersed squalene oil used in the conductor has a great influence on sound reproduction, and Furutech engineers established their exact ratio of gold to silver particles. after careful audition of countless test samples. The resulting "tuned" cable offers an excellent overall balance of qualities that Furutech is known for, allowing you to feel the experience and communicate with the music. The results are extremely fine resolution down and through a very low noise floor, better sound staging and picture palpability, a musical, attractive, “round” midrange, tight and controlled bass.
