Know before you buy
These conductors are treated with Furutech’s proprietary Alpha Process to improve conductivity and signal purity. This results in a more transparent soundstage and enhanced dynamics compared to standard copper cabling.
Phono signals are extremely low-level and highly susceptible to interference. The triple-shielded design, combined with an external ground wire, effectively blocks RFI and EMI to ensure a quiet, hum-free background.
Neo Damper technology is designed to absorb mechanical vibrations that can negatively impact signal transmission. By minimizing these micro-distortions, the cable helps maintain clarity and focus in your audio playback.
Yes, the Silver Arrows II is available with RCA, XLR, or DIN connectors. You should select the configuration that matches the output of your tonearm and the input of your phono stage.
Yes, 1.2 meters is a standard length for phono cables, chosen to keep the distance between your turntable and phono preamp short. This minimizes signal loss and potential interference pickup.
The integrated clamp provides a more secure, high-pressure fit between the connector and your equipment. This reduces movement and ensures a consistent electrical contact, which helps prevent distortion.
