Furutech FT-867 NCF(R) High End Performance αOCC Wire Binding Posts (2pcs/set)

Description

The Furutech FT-867 NCF(R) High-End Performance αOCC Wire Binding Posts are premium-quality binding posts designed to provide exceptional audio performance, signal integrity, and durability for high-end audio systems. Known for their meticulous craftsmanship and use of advanced technology, Furutech ensures that the FT-867 NCF(R) binding posts deliver top-tier sound quality, making them a preferred choice for audiophiles and professionals. Here’s a comprehensive overview of their features and benefits:

• Package: Comes as a set of 2 binding posts
• NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula) Technology: The FT-867 NCF(R) incorporates Furutech’s proprietary NCF technology, which is designed to eliminate static, dampen vibrations, and reduce electrical noise. This innovative formula combines nano-crystal, piezoelectric ceramic particles, and carbon powder, actively generating negative ions that help to further eliminate static and improve overall sound quality.
• Rhodium-Plated α (Alpha) OCC Pure Copper Conductors: The binding posts use α (Alpha) OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) pure copper conductors that are plated with rhodium. The high-purity OCC copper ensures excellent conductivity, while the rhodium plating provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring a consistent, high-quality signal transfer over time.
• Non-Magnetic Stainless Steel and Brass Construction: These binding posts are constructed with non-magnetic stainless steel and high-quality brass, which minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and unwanted vibrations, preserving the purity and accuracy of the audio signal.
• Torque-Control Mechanism: Furutech’s torque-control design ensures that you achieve a secure and stable connection without the risk of over-tightening, which can damage the cables or binding posts. This feature ensures optimal signal transfer and reduces the risk of signal degradation.
• Versatile Cable Compatibility: The FT-867 NCF(R) can accommodate various cable types, including spade connectors, banana plugs, and bare wire, making it highly versatile and suitable for different audio setups.
• Insulated Housing: The posts come with an insulated housing, offering protection against short circuits and electrical interference, which enhances the overall safety and stability of the connection.

Performance Benefits:

• Exceptional Signal Transfer: The combination of rhodium-plated α (Alpha) OCC copper conductors and NCF technology ensures superior signal transfer with minimal loss, resulting in clear, detailed, and transparent audio reproduction.
• Noise and Vibration Reduction: The NCF technology actively reduces electrical noise, eliminates static, and dampens vibrations, leading to a cleaner, more accurate audio signal and enhanced sound clarity.
• Durability and Long-Term Reliability: The rhodium plating provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring that the binding posts maintain their conductivity and performance over years of use.
• Consistent and Secure Connection: The torque-control mechanism ensures a stable and secure connection, reducing the chances of signal degradation or disconnection, and maintaining high-fidelity sound reproduction.

Ideal Applications:

• High-End Home Audio Systems: Perfect for audiophiles who want to achieve the highest level of sound quality and signal integrity in their home audio systems.
• Professional Audio Equipment: Suitable for recording studios, high-fidelity audio setups, and other professional environments where maintaining pure, unaltered sound is crucial.
• Custom Audio Installations: Ideal for those building or upgrading custom high-performance audio systems, ensuring reliable and top-quality connections for speakers, amplifiers, and other audio components.

NCF damping fixed ring -Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF).

FEATURES
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 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. Furutech’s unique patented wound-wire conductor construction binding posts sit at the very highest rung of build quality and musical performance, maintaining the most noise-free and undistorted signal path possible.

Furutech’s beautifully finished, beautiful sounding Binding Posts are the result of meticulous engineering and careful audition of various suitable materials. The FT-867 NCF(R) features a one-piece wound-wire Alpha-OCC conductor. This special conductor allows for reduced metal mass in the binding post terminal pole construction resulting in minimal impedance and less susceptibility to the negative effects of RFI and magnetic fields. Also, the environmentally friendly construction process of the wound-wire conductor means less metal waste compared to conventional CNC, mold or pressing processes. The FT-867 NCF(R) fitted with Nylon / fiberglass with special “NCF” anti-resonance damping material housing.
