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 includes speaker binding posts.
This critical connection often proves the weakest link in the quest for
tight, low-distortion signal. Change your cables a few times and speaker
binding posts can loosen. It’s bad enough in modestly-priced speakers
where the simple remedy is to unscrew the back plate and tighten the
offending nut. With expensive stand-mounted monitors or larger, more
costly speaker systems why take the risk? The Torque Guard binding post
sits at the very highest rung of build quality and musical performance,
maintaining the tightest, most noise-free and undistorted signal path
possible.
Furutech’s beautifully finished, beautiful sounding Torque Guard Binding Posts are the result of meticulous engineering
and careful audition of various suitable materials. The FT-808 features an α (Alpha) pure copper conductors for minimal
impedance and substantially-built extremely nonresonant carbon fiber, nonmagnetic stainless steel and eutectic copper alloy
housings. The unique patent-pending Torque Guard technology, which prevents over-tightening, allows each post to be
evenly tightened for improved channel balance and signal transfer.
