Furutech Audio Reference III : High-end performance line interconnect cables
Features:
The Furutech high-end performance Reference III series features double-shielded α (Alpha)-OCC conductor interconnects, power cords and digital cables with extraordinary build quality and Formula GC-303 antimagnetic EMI-absorbent modules surrounding the cable offering greater resolution, more powerful dynamics, and virtuoso performances from all your components.
All connectors features nonmagnetic rhodium-plated pure copper spades/bananas for optimal signal transfer.
Furutech’s patented Formula GC-303 Antimagnetic EMI-Absorbent Modules allows a deeper, tighter bass to form a solid foundation for the rest of the frequency range, better defining the original recording’s venue. Natural, unforced detail reveals nuance and energy for an engaging musical experience.
” Furutech might rightly be thought of as WBT’s elder Japanese brother. Elder and bigger …Shielding from and against noise pollution in cables has become more important than ever – and Furutech has developed a very powerful yet elegant antidote … Bravo.” — Srajan Ebaen, 6moons.com
Here’s What The Critics Say:
“The Furutech cable sound is easily described as one that completely avoids those peculiar striations that result from highlighting, the providence of certain silver cables that emphasize edge definition for nearly surreal image lock. Such sharp edging then becomes synonymous with etching. It gives a short-lived appearance of exceptional detail – short-lived since such sound is not only unrealistic but fatiguing. The Furutech cables patently don’t cause this. However, they are exceptionally detailed. I can’t help but think that the hexagonal barrel innards [Formula GC-303 Modules] are at least somewhat responsible for this wealth of clearly intelligible inner detail. Rather than throwing detail at you, they throw out inter-note noise. While the end result might seem the same — more detail — the way it communicates is very different. Put plainly, the Furutechs never fatigue even at elevated levels yet they do remain ultra resolved.”– Srajan Ebaen, 6moons.com
All metal parts are treated with Furutech’s Two Step Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Alpha Process.

‘The Furutechs have the ability to extract and resolve ultra-fine grains of details, and to mould then into a smooth, cohesive whole. The result is an extremely focussed image, smoothly resolved and beautifully presented.’ – Deon Schoeman
“If you are an audiophile and music lover who subscribes to the philosophy that the components in your system should be as accurate and neutral as possible, and that the cables; main job is to be an undistorted conduit, then the Furutech Reference III cables should be at the top of your list. I certainly will be using them as one of my references from now on” – Jeff Dorgay
“…I’ll just cut to the chase and tell you that my initial impression of Furutech Reference III Alpha cables are that they are a sonic leap forward! Upon adding the second Furutech interconnect between the BC 21.1 and the Sonic Frontier’ Power 1 (55-watts) the sound space opened up considerably, with the proverbial ‘raising the curtain’ effect. With all Furutech interconnects in the system it was a special listening event.” – Lester J. Mertz
“Impressively clean and very focused, with excellent detail and clarity. The music sounds crisp and fairly lean, tonally – it’s not a lush ‘romantic’ sort of presentation. There’s no sense of this sound ‘spreading’; the impression is one of focussed concentration and neutrality – nothing added, nothing taken away. Quite apart from their excellent sonic qualities, build quality was the other impressive thing about the Furutech cables covered here.” – Jimmy Hughes
“There are no arcane arts at work here, for what you see is very much what you get. And even what yo cannot see remains proven engineering, a combination of top quality conductors and dielectrics, assembled with precision into a geometry that promises a broad compatibility with most source components and amplifiers….both build and sound is as flawless as you might wish for.” – Paul Miller
