The new FPX series feature a new plating technique which delivers sonic improvements and a more durable finish. Also Unique to the FPX series is a pin insert construction that ensures increased contact areas, stable transmission and the tightest contacts in the Audio industry and they won’t scratch or mark the plating on male AC connectors!Rating: 2-pole+earth for North America: 15A / 20A 125V A.CFurutech is known the world over for a huge variety of top-quality OEM parts and delivers consistently superior results by following Pure Transmission principles; examine every link in the power and signal path and ultimately optimize each and every element.Japanese audio commentator, Masamitsu Fukuda says the following on the new plating:“Gold plating is ideal for enthusiasts who prefer a flowing, somewhat warm and softer sound. With a slightly thicker layer of gold plating than before the sound is a touch more precise allowing a stable soundstage and a smoother tonal balance. With better response and dynamics the new cable yields a detailed, powerful bass and an overall expressive sound….”
Standard house electrical outlets are just not built for audio quality. From poor quality material to inadequate contact, you really don’t know what you’re missing until you replace them. Using the Furutech FPX (G) receptacle will easily provide a notable improvement for a small investment. However, the best is if this is placed at the end of a dedicated AC line installed by a qualified electrician. Having a dedicated line for your audio system will dramatically decrease the noise floor of your system as you aren’t sharing the line with dimmable lights or various electrical appliances that add a lot of noise to the line (such as a refrigerator). The benefit of a dedicated AC line and audio grade outlet is greatly reduced noise floor which increases detail and micro dynamics that were previously hidden. Plus, greatly improved contact can increase dynamics due to improved power delivery.
