Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable Delivers Reference-Level Signal Purity
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable is a high-performance tonearm interconnect engineered to preserve the fragile output of moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable protects vanishingly low phono signals from RFI and EMI contamination that can veil micro-detail and compress dynamics. This Furutech Silver Arrows-II / Silver Arrows-II-L phono tonearm cable applies the same La Grande Épreuve philosophy that defines Furutech’s engineering ethos: push materials, geometry and build quality to their absolute limits.
Phono cartridges generate millivolt-level signals that are inherently susceptible to electromagnetic interference, ground loops and capacitance loading. Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable counters these known electrical challenges with α (Alpha) silver hybrid OCC conductors. Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC), developed by Professor Atsumi Ohno, creates long-crystal copper with minimal grain boundaries, reducing electron scattering and signal loss. Furutech’s α-treated conductors undergo a proprietary cryogenic and demagnetisation process to improve conductivity and reduce micro-distortion, preserving harmonic integrity and transient accuracy.
This reference-grade analogue interconnect presents music with verisimilitude, spatial precision and tonal density. It reveals low-level ambience cues in orchestral recordings and preserves the bite of brass, the woodiness of double bass and the decay of cymbals. It allows vinyl enthusiasts to hear the source without intrusive noise or tonal haze.
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable Minimises Noise Through Advanced Shielding
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable is designed with a three-layer shielding architecture that forms a barrier against external interference. Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable uses multi-layer screening to suppress radio frequency interference from Wi-Fi routers, power supplies and household electronics. This layered construction reduces background noise and enhances perceived dynamic range.
The cable’s four-way grounding scheme and dedicated external ground wire stabilise reference potential between turntable and phono stage. This structured grounding approach mitigates hum, lowers noise floor and improves channel separation. The result is a quieter soundstage with sharper image focus and more defined instrument placement.
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable integrates audio-grade SR-PVC insulation and nitrogen-injected skin-foam-skin polyethylene dielectric. Nitrogen injection lowers dielectric constant, reducing capacitance and time smear. Lower capacitance supports accurate high-frequency transmission, which is critical for preserving the delicate overtones of strings and vocals. This scientifically grounded material choice supports measurable performance improvements in signal transmission.
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable Enhances Mechanical Stability and Contact Integrity
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable is equipped with a precision-engineered cable clamp that improves grip and minimises mechanical and electrically induced distortion. Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable reduces micro-vibrations that can modulate the signal at the connection point, an often overlooked source of subtle distortion in high-resolution analogue systems.
The straight CF-DIN to RCA configuration in the Silver Arrows-II model ensures secure connection to standard tonearm sockets, while the Silver Arrows-II-L variant features a right-angle L-DIN connector for installations where space is limited. These options provide compatibility with a wide range of tonearms from SME, Jelco, Rega (with appropriate DIN termination), and other high-end manufacturers.
Furutech-engineered rhodium-plated CF-DIN or L-DIN connectors combine carbon fibre and stainless steel housings to control resonance and maintain structural integrity. The CF-102(R) α OCC RCA connectors use rhodium plating for corrosion resistance and long-term contact stability. Rhodium’s hardness and conductivity help maintain consistent signal transfer under repeated use.
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable Supports Immersive Vinyl Playback
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable is built for listeners who demand immersion without effort. Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable preserves phase coherence and transient speed, enabling a cohesive and engaging sound field. It allows complex passages, such as dense symphonic climaxes or layered progressive rock recordings, to remain intelligible and composed.
The approximately 10.0 mm cable diameter reflects substantial internal architecture, while the 1.2 metre set length suits most rack-to-turntable layouts. This carefully considered geometry balances flexibility with structural damping, making installation straightforward while maintaining mechanical stability.
Furutech Silver Arrows-II Phono Cable transforms the connection between tonearm and phono stage into a precision instrument. It serves as a critical link in high-fidelity analogue systems, whether paired with a reference moving coil cartridge and dedicated phono preamplifier or integrated into a meticulously curated vinyl playback chain. For those investing in premium turntables and cartridges, this Furutech Silver Arrows-II / Silver Arrows-II-L phono tonearm cable offers a scientifically grounded, meticulously engineered solution designed to unlock the full potential of analogue sound.
