Furutech NCF Booster-Signal-L : High-end performance signal cable connector holder & dampener
The Furutech NCF Booster-Signal-L is a multi-functional device:
– It supports signal cable connections that are positioned very low on components where the standard NCF-Booster-Signal is unable to reach.
– It provides superior damping (caused by electrical-, mechanical- and acoustic vibrations) for signal cables (HDMI, RCA, XLR, USB, etc) at points of connection.
You can expect improved clarity and detail in sound, extended bass and soundstage; and better musical coherency.

The Furutech NCF Booster-Signal-L is a multi-functional device:
– It supports signal cable connections that are positioned very low on components where the standard NCF-Booster-Signal is unable to reach.
– It provides superior damping (caused by electrical-, mechanical- and acoustic vibrations) for signal cables (HDMI, RCA, XLR, USB, etc) at points of connection.
NCF Booster parts are also sold separately, enabling a customer to “mix-and-match” the original NCF Booster and NCF Booster-Signal’s parts to build a NCF dampening solution that is tailored to his/her system.
The construction of the unit contains Furutech’s patented NCF* technology capable of eliminating static build-up and providing superior damping via nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder.
*NCF: Nano Crystal2 Formula, i.e. Nano Crystalline, Ceramic and Carbon Powder . Incorporated into select Furutech products, Nano Crystal2 Formula — NCF is comprised of a special crystalline material that has two “active” properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static and secondly, it converts thermal energy into far-infrared. Furutech then combines this remarkable crystalline material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional “Piezo Effect” damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal2 Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material – only found in Furutech products! Nano Crystal2 Formula eliminates static, “interconverts” thermal, mechanical and electrical energy and damps vibrations – all for the finest Furutech Pure Transmission signal imaginable.
In short, everything in the signal path does indeed make a difference. Hear and see the difference that the Furutech NCF Booster-Signal-L can make in your system.

“If we’re talking about speaker cables that slither across the type composite parquet our landlord favored, I’m sold on Furutech’s concept/execution. To a lesser degree, this extends to power chords. Without competing cable lifts on hand, I couldn’t isolate what Furutech’s NCF inclusion might do beyond mere mechanics. After all, breaching the domain of noise-attenuating signal conditioners is how they’re marketed. For today, think of our Japanese nano-crystal Signal Boosters as the final polish of an already well-balanced mature system. That system’s combined cost should be sufficiently elevated to render the not inconsiderable fee of these Furutech a palatable percentage. In the never-ending quest for higher resolution, there’s removal of interference/distortion in the electrical and mechanical domains. Here cable elevators minimize or eliminate capacitance coupling with the floor. If a system is of sufficient resolution, that reduction in cable capacitance becomes audible. It manifests as reduced time smear which previously masqueraded as faux warmth and mass. In their places emerge higher clarity and speed. That equals better separation, more specific depth cues and a quicker leaner more energetic sound. If you call that a bit of sonic rejuvenation, I’d not disagree. ” – Srajan Ebaen
