Twice a year, US audio magazine The Absolute Sound’s Editors’ Choice Awards recognise “the gear that our editors and writers have selected as most worthy of your consideration.” While the November Awards cover products that best fit into living room systems, those published in March focus on components perfect for larger listening room systems. In this latter category, four of Furutech’s high-performance cables and noise-reducing accessories are winners.

Furutech’s “mysterious looking” six-outlet Pure Power 6 Distributor is crafted from a CNC-machined cube of aerospace-grade aluminium alloy and is “a virtual black hole for EMI and RFI”. It “lifted [Neil Gader’s] system to a new level of resolution, imparting renewed vitality and visceral immediacy” and sounded “more than ever like hearing a live feed straight from the mixing board.” Partnered with Furutech’s flagship Project V1 power cord, it “redefined [his] system as the quietest it has ever been.”

Not surprisingly, the Project V1 cable series is also an Award winner, and is described here as “nothing short of heroic”. Incorporating Furutech’s proprietary NCF anti-static, anti-resonance formula, these cables “laid a foundation of dark stillness”, such that “what impressed most was what wasn’t there: no haze, congestion or edginess. Smooth to the point of sounding frictionless.” The result? “This is one helluva ride”. Read more about Neil Gader’s full review.

Furutech’s Flux cable series, meanwhile, is “extremely transparent and detailed” and includes a phono cable “which ranks among the best produced,” writes Jacob Heilbrunn. These cables “transmit a wealth of details but are never harsh” and “the quality of workmanship, as with all Furutech products, is stunning, with connectors that “are a pleasure to use”.

Finally, for home users interested in finishing their own custom cable lengths and terminations, Furutech’s DPS 4.1 bulk cable “performs on a par with some of the top contenders at considerable savings,” writes Neil Gader.
