Furutech’s Award-Winning Pure Transmission Build Quality
The sense of mechanical integrity of the Ag-12 Phono cable’s build is immediately apparent. Furutech Pure Transmission technology turns a macro lens on every element of power and signal transfer applying optimized engineering solutions to well-known problems such as contact resistance, grounding, EMI and RFI rejection, and using the best materials and processes available.
Meticulous attention to build quality is a large part of the engineering equation: Rhodium-plated nonmagnetic pure-copper and phosphor bronze fittings, Furutech’s silver-plated Alpha μ-Conductors with four-layer shielding, and beautifully engineered rhodium-plated DIN and RCA connectors [FP-126(R)]. All metal parts are subjected to the deep cryogenic and demagnetizing Alpha Process.
The Critics Speak!
“I don’t know if the Furutech Ag-12 is the best phono cable on the market, but it's the best I've heard, a fact made all the more meaningful by its mid-level price. It's one of the phono cables to beat, and it's affordable to boot.”

“If, like me, you appreciate taking many sonic steps forward and no steps backward, you’ll want to give these components a try.” - Chris Martens, The Absolute Sound
“If I had to limit myself to one key term … I'd opt for relaxed ultra resolution. … The sense of big simply gets bigger and bigger and bigger. … Tolerances are spot on … something luxurious and silken about the Furutech connectors. -Srajan Ebaen, 6moons.com
