Many more points are in contact. RATING Voltage rating: 20A 125V / 16A 250V FEATURES Alpha Nano-Ag-Au All audiophiles search for the same qualities: Verisimilitude to the original event, a sense of engagement promoting suspension of disbelief, a visceral immersion in the audio video experience. They also know that everything in the signal path makes a difference, and that which we see, hear and experience is, in a very direct way the AC power itself. In fact, the AC supply is directly in the signal path. As amplifiers transfer energy to speakers it draws down storage capacitors by exactly the same amount. The capacitors try to keep fully charged by drawing energy from rectifiers that turn the AC into DC from the transformer that draws power through the wall. Ultimately everything you see, hear and experience is the AC that must be identical to let’s say an amplifier’s output, and that AC travels through the power cord! That’s why they’re as important as any cable in a system because they carry the same signal. Furutech has received enthusiastic reports of significant improvements with every type of audio, video and display device. Furutech Alpha Nano-Ag-Au is one of the best conductors Furutech engineers have found for sound reproduction. The 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. Nano Liquid’s molecules are so tiny (8 nano-meters in diameter (8/1000000mm) they cover the Alpha-OFC surface and “fill up” any concave-convex sections left on the conductor surface during the production process, increasing the electric conduction area and debasing impedance. The very precise mix of gold and silver super-micro particles and amount of dispersing Squalene oil used on the conductor has great influence on the sound reproduction, and Furutech’s engineers settled on their exact ratio of gold to silver particles after careful audition of countless test samples. The resulting “tuned” cable offers superb overall balance of qualities that Furutech is known for that allows you to feel experience and communicate with music. The results are extremely fine resolution down and through the very low noise floor, improved sound staging and image palpability, a musical, attractive, “round” midrange, tight and controlled bass, plus power and dynamics to spare to set your music on fire!

As the AC power supply is the starting point of any audio system, the power cable is a decisive element in the quality of playback. The Furutech Alpha Nano-Ag-Au driver is one of the brand's best drivers. The new technology used in the production process of this high-performance cable combines Alpha processed OFC Copper conductors (α) with Furutech's Nano Liquid, further improving signal transmission capabilities. The molecules of this Nano Liquid are so tiny (8nm in diameter = 8/1000000mm) that they cover the surface of the Alpha-OFC conductors while filling the concave/convex sections resulting from the production process. This increases the electrical conduction surface area. This very precise mixture of micro particles of Silver and Gold, combined with the use of Squalene oil, offers a breathtaking reproduction with extremely low noise, a more than realistic sound image, musical mediums, precise and controlled bass and high dynamics.
