Hot on the heels of Furutech’s flagship Project V1 power cable comes the new top-of-range, Project V1-T tonearm cable – a high-performance, hybrid silver OCC design with detachable shield.
Furutech’s Project series of cables is the culmination of the Japanese brand’s three decades of tireless investigation into all aspects of power and signal transmission for high-end audio applications. The series features a host of Furutech’s own groundbreaking technologies and patented designs, married with the topmost quality materials.
“Every element of signal transfer must be perfectly engineered to avoid distortion,” says Furutech. “Phono cartridge output is vanishingly small and all too easily polluted by RFI and EMI, so it’s vital to ensure that this low-level signal isn’t swamped by a veritable soup of noisy distortion right from the source.”
The new Project V1-T tonearm cable achieves its remarkably quiet soundstage and transparent presentation thanks to a trio of hybrid silver OCC conductors, with four-layer shielding and detachable external ground wire. It also features a specially engineered cable clamp to improve grip and thus avoid any potential distortion. To further enhance sound reproduction, the cable incorporates Furutech’s own proprietary NCF (Nano Crystal2 Formula) technology, designed to deliver excellent damping properties and eliminate noise and interference, ensuring that you experience a truly immersive and lifelike audio performance.
The Project V1-T tonearm cable’s key construction features include:
• Hybrid silver hybrid OCC conductors, treated with Furutech’s trademark ‘Alpha’ process, a two-stage cryogenic and demagnetization treatment designed to take purity and conductivity a significant step further.• Insulation/dielectric: Audio grade SR-PVC and nitrogen-injected skin-foam-skin polyethylene.• Four-way grounding and external ground wire.• Three-layer shielding for improved noise insulation.• Audio-grade sheath incorporating damping carbon particles.• High grade damping polypropylene braid inner layer, and double layer audio grade nylon outer sleeve.• Detachable cable shield wire, with independent cable shield and turntable/AMP ground connection, for your preferred setting.• Carefully engineered cable clamp designed to improve grip and reduce mechanical and electrical distortion.• Dimensions: Cable diameter approx. 10mm; overall length approx. 1.5m/set.
With its meticulous construction, advanced technology and exceptional signal transmission qualities, the Project V1-T will take your vinyl playback to the next level.
