Furutech Speaker Flux : High-end performance speaker cable
Refinement has a new name….debuting Furutech’s high-end performance Speaker Flux cable:
Furutech specifies α (Alpha) OCC Pure Transmission conductors terminated with beautifully-engineered high-performance rhodium-plated nonmagnetic pure copper spade connectors for the amplifier end and rhodium-plated banana connectors at the other end. The substantially-built extremely non-resonant connector bodies are finished in layered carbon fiber and stainless steel.
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….
Furutech Speaker Flux : High-end performance speaker cable
Features:
Refinement has a new name….debuting Furutech’s high-end performance Speaker Flux cable:
The link between speakers and amplifiers is one of the most critical in a system. Speaker cables carry high current and require low resistive loss to avoid turning part of the signal energy into heat; high performance construction techniques call for large cable diameters or bundles of smaller conductors for an effective large diameter. Low resistance also keeps an amplifier’s damping factor high avoiding uncontrolled driver movements.
Furutech specifies α (Alpha) OCC Pure Transmission conductors terminated with beautifully-engineered high-performance rhodium-plated nonmagnetic pure copper spade connectors for the amplifier end and rhodium-plated banana connectors at the other end. Other connector combinations are available on request. The substantially-built extremely nonresonant connector bodies are finished in layered carbon fiber and stainless steel. The dielectric/insulation is high-grade PE reducing capacitance and improving mechanical damping for greater resolution, clarity, powerful dynamics, plus an ultra-quiet soundstage in which music develops more fully without artificial upper-frequency “presence region” glare.
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.
All metal parts are treated with Furutech’s Two Step Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Alpha Process.

“In the end, the very long-drawn break-in process that–with tender loving care–coaxed these marvellously finished products into delivering the fine performance of which they are capable, revealed the Furutech Flux’s true nature of sonic thoroughbreds, which comfortably outperform even the substantial resolving power of the Furutech Evolution II.” – Guido Corona
“The effect of the system as a whole is not subtle. Even where pretty serious cables are being replaced, the overall character of the Flux cables seems to be of transaparancy and neutrality. This is a starkly revealing cable and some will find its ability to look under every stone a shade uncomfortable. Prepare to be transported across space and time with stunning realism…..” – Jason Kennedy
“…..the Daytona303 / Flux system offers six key benefits that are simply addictive: (1) Unusually quite backgrounds. (2) Resolution sufficient to convey tons of low-level sonic detail. (3) Blazing transient speeds without apparent overshoot or ringing. (4) Clean, taut, articulate bass. (5) Superb high-frequency ‘air’ and extension. (6) Genuine neutrality.” – Chris Martens
“Furutech’s top-of-the-line Flux Series is impressive, to say the least. Their most prominent characteristics are neutrality and transparency, which should be the goals of any cable used in a deserving high-end system. No, they won’t knock anyone over with a spectacle sound, because there is none. And that’s a good thing, because any grandstanding is replaced by neutrality and transparency. It’s a given that any audiophile with a top-flight system should chose cables with as much care as other components in this system, therefore I highly recommend the Furutech cables featured in this review be considered to be part of this system.” – Tom Lyle
“With the whole system linked with Furutech cabling, there was a distinct synergy. It is often said the best cable is no cable at all, and I agree. Since we must use cables, we try to seek out the ones that do the least amount of harm and don’t impede the flow of information from component to component, component to speaker, and wall socket to power supply. Furutech, in my experience, has hyper-engineered some of the best cable solutions I have ever heard. They do this with superb materials, build quality, ultra-pure conductors, and other proprietary technologies. These are not inexpensive cables. For those who have invested significant sums into room and systems, I can’t recommend an audition of the Furutech Flux series of cables any stronger. They will be commensurate with the very best components and speakers out there, bar none. If you can stretch your budget to afford these cables, give them a listen. The pride of ownership, build quality, and sonics are off the charts.” – Andre Marc
“Exceptional resolution, wide-open staging and a vivid, lifelike delivery are the key hallmarks of the premium cable system (PowerFlux, LineFlux and SpeakerFlux). And you thought those wires couldn’t make a difference?” – Deon Schoeman
