Key Features

1. Silver Hybrid Alpha-OCC Conductors
   • The Silver Arrows-II-XLR features high-purity Alpha-OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper conductors with a silver hybrid design. This combination of silver-plating over OCC copper offers exceptional conductivity, resulting in superior signal transfer, minimal resistance, and enhanced audio clarity. The hybrid design allows the cable to deliver every nuance and detail of your vinyl records, providing a transparent, dynamic, and engaging sound experience.
2. Dual-Layer Shielding for Superior Noise Protection
   • The cable incorporates a dual-layer shielding system, including a braided copper shield and an aluminum foil shield, effectively protecting against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This advanced shielding ensures that your audio signal remains pure and free from external noise, providing a cleaner, more detailed, and accurate sound.
3. High-Quality DIN and XLR Connectors with Teflon Insulation
   • The Silver Arrows-II-XLR is fitted with a high-quality right-angle DIN connector on one end and gold-plated XLR connectors on the other end. The XLR connectors are crafted to provide a secure, stable, and high-conductivity connection, minimizing signal degradation. The use of Teflon (PTFE) insulation offers excellent dielectric properties, reducing signal loss and maintaining signal integrity for an improved audio experience.
4. Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetization Treatment
   • Furutech applies its proprietary Alpha (α) Cryogenic and Demagnetization treatment to the conductors and connectors, enhancing conductivity and reducing internal stresses. This process ensures smoother signal transmission, resulting in a more natural, dynamic, and detailed audio experience that brings out the best in your vinyl records.
5. Flexible and Durable Design
   • Despite its high-performance construction, the Silver Arrows-II-XLR is designed to be flexible and easy to handle, making it convenient for installation in various turntable setups. The robust outer jacket ensures durability and protection, ensuring consistent performance even with regular use.

FEATURES
La Grande Épreuve
Grand Prix racing‘s single focus: Testing the absolute limits of technology and performance. Furutech builds each and every cable in their line the same way. Optimized engineering solutions applied to advanced materials and processes with utterly meticulous build quality for the ultimate test.
Phono cartridge output is vanishingly small and easily polluted by RFI and EMI. Every element of signal transfer must be perfectly engineered to avoid distortion that robs music of life. If you’re going to the trouble of playing vinyl why swamp the low-level signal in a veritable soup of noisy distortion right at its source!
All enthusiasts are looking for the same qualities: Verisimilitude to the original event, a sense of engagement promoting suspension of disbelief, an immersion in audio and video experience. To engage without effort requires meticulous preparation of the entire playback chain especially including cables and most importantly at the signal source.
The Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable achieves its remarkably quiet soundstage and transparent presentation with α silver hybrid OCC conductor, three-layer shielding and external ground wire, even a specially engineered cable clamp to improve grip and avoid any potential distortion and Furutech’s Neo Damper technology for ultimate performance.
