Furutech Project V1-T Phono Tonearm Cable

Furutech Project V1-T Delivers Ultra-Pure Tone Arm Signal Transmission

Furutech Project V1-T is a flagship tonearm (phono) cable designed to preserve and elevate the finest nuances of analogue playback. This reference-grade cable is the pinnacle of Furutech's Project Series, purpose-built for vinyl connoisseurs demanding absolute fidelity from their turntable setups. Every aspect of the Project V1-T is meticulously engineered—from the proprietary conductor materials to the structural shielding—ensuring a playback experience defined by silence, transparency, and sonic purity.

Project V1-T Enhances Vinyl Playback with Alpha Silver Hybrid OCC Conductors

Project V1-T tonearm cable is constructed with Furutech’s exclusive α (Alpha) silver hybrid OCC conductors, optimised for ultra-low resistance and phase coherence. These high-purity conductors, produced using the Ohno Continuous Casting method, offer uncoloured signal transmission and heightened detail retrieval. By blending silver and OCC copper, Furutech achieves a conductor topology that faithfully renders micro-dynamic nuances while controlling transient response with surgical precision.

The result is a cable that reveals the full emotive potential of vinyl playback—rich tonal layers, sharply resolved spatial cues, and the delicate ambient decay that defines a live performance.

Project V1-T Controls Noise with Multi-Layered Shielding and External Grounding

Furutech Project V1-T cable protects vulnerable phono signals with a sophisticated four-layer shielding system. This includes a triple-layered shield for internal noise rejection, paired with an external ground wire that creates a controlled drain path for stray EMI and RFI. This configuration isolates the low-level signal path from external interference, preserving signal integrity across the entire frequency range.

Phono cartridge outputs—often measured in microvolts—are especially susceptible to noise pollution. The V1-T’s shielding architecture ensures that music emerges from a jet-black background, free from the haze of electrical contamination that compromises tonal fidelity and dynamic expression.

Project V1-T Features NCF Technology for Enhanced Electrical and Mechanical Stability

NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula), Furutech’s proprietary anti-resonance technology, is integrated into the connector housings and dielectric interfaces of the Project V1-T. This advanced material incorporates crystalline particles that generate negative ions to neutralise static and convert vibrational energy into far-infrared, dissipating it as heat. This results in lower noise floors and increased musical clarity.

The CF-DIN NCF-P or L-DIN connector, along with CF-102 NCF(R)-P α OCC RCA or CF-601M NCF(R)-P XLR connectors, are constructed from rhodium-plated pure copper with carbon fibre and stainless steel housings—engineered for both conductivity and durability. Combined with a precision-machined cable clamp, these terminations offer a mechanically stable and sonically neutral interface between tonearm and phono stage.

Project V1-T-R4 Provides RCA-to-RCA Configuration for Flexible System Integration

Project V1-T-R4 expands the range by offering a RCA-to-RCA variation of the original DIN-to-RCA model. This configuration is ideal for high-end turntables and tonearms equipped with RCA outputs, maintaining the same internal architecture, shielding, and connector quality as the standard V1-T. It ensures audiophiles with non-DIN setups can experience the same uncompromising signal purity and system synergy.

Both configurations are available in a 1.5 metre length, with an approximate 10.0 mm cable diameter, striking an ideal balance between flexibility, mechanical damping, and installation ease.

Project V1-T Joins Project Series as the Definitive Analogue Signal Conduit

Furutech Project V1-T tonearm cable represents the culmination of decades of analogue research and product development from Furutech Co. Ltd. in Tokyo. By combining NCF technology, silver hybrid OCC conductors, and advanced shielding, Furutech has created a flagship-grade phono cable that doesn’t just transfer signal—it elevates the entire musical presentation.

As part of the Project Series, which also includes the acclaimed Project V1 Power Cord, the V1-T completes an audiophile-grade analogue chain designed to meet the most demanding vinyl playback standards. Whether used in a high-mass reference turntable or a precision-engineered tonearm assembly, the Project V1-T ensures every note, texture, and harmonic overtone is delivered intact—without interference, distortion, or compromise.
