Furutech FP-TCS21 Alpha PC-Triple C Copper Mains Cable

Furutech’s α (Alpha) PC-Triple C is one of a select few of conductors that Furutech engineers have found to excel in sound reproduction. α (Alpha) PC-Triple C is made with Furukawa high-purity oxygen-free copper using a special forging process. Unlike regular OFC (oxygen-free copper), almost all of the impurities of this high-purity OFC have been removed at the micron level through a special casting process unique to Furukawa.

The Samurai knew a thing or two about precision engineering: who could argue with the razor-sharp technology of the katana, the Samurai sword? Key to its craftsmanship was a forging process involving repeated rounds of metal folding. Furutech’s Alpha PC-Triple C conductor mirrors that technique, using an ingenious proprietary forging process in which variable high pressures are applied to high-purity oxygen-free copper, essentially folding the metal tens of thousands of times. The copper’s crystal grain boundaries are thus transformed from a vertical direction into a longitudinal orientation, allowing the electrical signal to flow considerably more smoothly along the completed cable. The copper’s crystals become vastly more uniform and well-connected both physically and electrically, creating a much more highly conductive cable.

The result is a sound that’s free of artefacts and impurities, delivering a wholly more compelling listening experience. As a result, you’ll detect a number of important improvements:

  • A lowered noise floor, allowing more music to flow through your system.
  • Greater resolution and inner detail, letting you hear even more deeply into much-loved recordings.
  • Tighter, more controlled low frequencies, with more three-dimensional textures.
  • Cleaner, clearer highs with almost unlimited extension for today’s hi-resolution recordings.
  • Greater image focus, with a more precise and realistic reproduction of the soundstage.
  • An increase in dynamics throughout the entire frequency range.
