Furutech Lineflux NCF (RCA) : High-end performance line interconnect cables with NCF
Refinement personified….debuting Furutech’s new flagship, high-end performance Lineflux interconnect cable:
Furutech specifies α (Alpha) OCC Pure Transmission conductors terminated with beautifully-engineered high-performance rhodium-plated nonmagnetic pure copper RCA connectors, incorporating NCF technology.
The new flagship CF-102 NCF RCA connectors features special one-piece construction design, layered 3K silver carbon fiber on a nonmagnetic stainless-steel body and a rhodium plated OCC pin injected with Furutech’s ultimate anti-static and resonance damping material – NCF.
The smooth, natural, utterly musical presentation is down to meticulous engineering and careful audition of various suitable materials. These results in the superb overall balance of qualities that Furutech has long been known for that allows you to feel, experience and communicate with music….

Refinement personified….debuting Furutech’s new flagship, high-end performance Lineflux interconnect cable:
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.
The dilemma faced by many is that poor recording values are more apparent as audio systems gain clarity, transparency and resolution. Recordings that are acceptable sounding on a compromised system may grate as the bass, midrange and upper frequencies open up.
The wideband, smooth, extremely low noise and utterly musical presentation achieved by Furutech’s beautifully finished Lineflux NCF (RCA) cables is down to meticulous engineering and a careful audition of various suitable materials. These results in the superb overall balance of qualities that Furutech is known for that allow you to feel, experience and communicate with music.
Furutech Lineflux NCF (RCA) interconnects feature solid-core α (Alpha) OCC conductor, double-layer shielding, and a high-grade polyethylene dielectric with insulating materials that further dampen the transmission line.
Also featuring CF-102 NCF RCA connectors with special one-piece construction design, layered 3K silver carbon fiber on a nonmagnetic stainless-steel body and a rhodium plated OCC pin injected with Furutech’s ultimate anti-static and resonance damping material – NCF.
The results are extremely fine resolution down and through the very low noise floor, improved sound staging and image palpability, a musical, attractive, “round” midrange, tight and controlled bass, plus power and dynamics to spare.
NCF : Nano Crystal² Formula
Incorporated into selected Furutech products, NCF features a special crystalline material that has two ‘active’ properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this remarkable material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional ‘piezoelectric effect’ damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material. Created by Furutech, it is found exclusively in Furutech products.
All metal parts are treated with Furutech’s Two Step Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Alpha Process.

“Furutech LineFlux- NCF RCA is one of those cables that enrich music reproduction, but not in the sense of artifice, but by letting the signal pass with a density that is not degrading.
With the LineFlux-NCF Furutech has developed the right overall equilibrium that ensures a great spatial impression and an impressive projection of the horizontal and vertical acoustic extension, without tinkering with the golden trinity of timbre, tone, and color.
While many RCA cables are somehow bound to the audio syllogism and often operate around the tiny point of radius, Furutech LineFlux- NCF RCA explores the complex and delicate arrangement of “atoms”, material, and principles in a much broader sense.
With Furutech LineFlux- NCF RCA there is no cable mystery or mystique. No placebo, no false extremes, but the technology used to great effect, capable of both preserving what is valuable in the music and, through the clever implementation of different technologies and materials, not changing what is sonically successful.
Music should never cause discomfort or fatigue, and for that, high-end audio components are as important as anything else. In a high-end audio setup, the output is as strong as its weakest part.
Furutech LineFlux- NCF RCA cables are among the few rare signal cables that are befitting to the music without the inconsistencies found in various signal audio cables regardless of the price.
Furuterch LineFlux- NCF RCA is an exquisite analog cable that conveys the electric and eclectic lease of life.
Furutech has always been a visionary, highly venerated brand, and LineFlux- NCF RCA continues this path unconditionally. Their bold determination to explore, innovate and never compromise is reflected in the products that are welcomed with open hands by music lovers and audiophiles. Expectations for the introduction of any new Furutrech products are always a bit higher than with the rest of the crowd, and so far they have always delivered a recognizable consistency of quality and progression. Technically and sonically.” – Matej Isak
“In terms of our usual summary, I will allow myself to mention, that the Furutech LineFlux NCF, in both versions, the RCA and XLR (they sound very similar, and the differences are mostly due to the electronics they connect) are the ideal proposal for all or you, who have enough of the ongoing chase for who will do things best, and that in the highest of categories. Here, while you will not find that competitiveness, you should discover, that true High End means something completely different – naturalness and “normalness”, intrinsic to live events, where the definition of the virtual sources means being able to point to a musician with your finger, and not to be able to verify the material his or her jacket is made of. So if you prefer that kind of approach to sound, then I have no other choice but encourage you to borrow the Furutech LineFlux NCF and test its capabilities in your own system.” – Marcin Olszewski
“Would I recommend the tested cable to each one of you? Unfortunately I know from experience, that it has no chance for an issue free accommodation with everybody. But I would recommend to check out any of the tested cables even to enforcers of merciless transparency and signal slew rate. Despite having a nice timbre and interesting essence of the reproduced music, those are still very lively and energetic wires. I know, as I tested that in my system, which is well based in mass, and which did not suffer at all by placing the Japanese cable in it, but showed how much more music in music I can achieve with it.” – Jacek Pazio
