Furutech
connectors
Using cutting-edge
technology and materials, Furutech developed a low-temperature
two-stage process that significantly improves every facet of
audio and video performance. The treatment begins during the
manufacturing process with a deep, conditioning cryogenic freeze
of all metal parts. Using high-end refrigerants -- liquid N2 or
He -- Furutech achieves temperatures of between -196 to -250C.
The treated parts actually change their molecular structure at
these extremes of temperature relieving internal stress. The
molecules bond together more tightly and the overall structure
becomes more stable. This improves electrical conductivity and
so power and signal transfer.
Step two in the Alpha Process exposes these same parts to the
patented Ring Demagnetization treatment. Ordinary high power
magnets used for this purpose often increase magnetization
effects; they leave some areas more magnetized than others. Just
like a CD spinning over a fixed magnet; when the CD stops the
area above the magnet is still exposed to the magnetic field
causing audible effects. This patented process uses controlled
attenuation to completely eliminate magnetization for
immediately more vivid and colourful improvements. Ring
Demagnetization further enhances conductivity of all treated
materials. The patent holder for this treatment is Sekiguchi
Machine Sale Co., Ltd. in Japan; Furutech are licensed users of
the technology.
ALL metallic parts used in Furutech products go through the
Alpha Process treatment to keep all connectors, conductors, and
metal parts in a perfect stress-free, stable and highly
conductive state.
The Final Result The 2-Step Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetizing
Process works in tandem with other design-in features to create
the most optimized AC power transfer possible. Furutech’s total
awareness and devotion to detail results in a greater sense of
power, dynamics, and resolution, with cleaner, blacker
backgrounds and a larger, more stable soundstage, vivid tonal
colours and deeper extension at both ends of the frequency
range.
