Solid post. I tried a single Furutech rhodium fuse and it was not good. Rhodium tends to add a hard, chrome-like coloration. Interestingly, my phono amps all benefit from rhodium power cord terminals.
Furutech PC's?
I am curious if anyone has experience with these components?
The Furutech DPS-4.1 features 11AWG OCC-DUCC copper conductors, dual shielding, and Furutech’s proprietary nano-ceramic and carbon anti-resonance damping material.
Connectors: The FI-50 NCF (R) series of power connector
It seems their stuff is very good but I don't know.

I have the Furutech DPS4.1 with FI-50 NCF (R) plugs and can recommend these. The plugs are more important than the cable and I don't use anything lesser than the FI-50 NCF (R) on the DPS4.1. Initially I bought the DPS4.1 which came with older and lesser plugs and they didn't sound better than the TCS31/FI-28(R) which I also own. After several months of comparing the cords, I decided to change the plugs on the DPS4.1 to the FI-50 NCF(R) and this move made all the difference. The overall sound is much more open and dynamic with improved clarity and detail. Apart from the DPS4.1/FI-50 NCF(R) I also have the GTX-D NCF (R) at the wall outlet which I feel is the best upgrade I have made to the system. The impact is huge. As for power cords, as we all know it needs to fit the system and components. I have a mix of Furutech and Acrolink cords in my system. The Furutech DPS4.1 is at the upstream between the wall to power conditioner, while the Acrolink cords go between the power conditioner and components. I have found that swapping these cords around will produce a different sound, so you need to experiment to find the best result in your system. The system can sound warm and unengaging with reduced clarity and detail if the cords are not properly matched to their respective components. |
@audphile1 how do you find the Furutech Dss-4.1 speaker cables with totl furutech plugs? I am actually done with the system but have always admired these speaker cables. The only hindrance that is keeping me away from the Dss-4.1 is the high price. |
@ryder Well I cannot change the PC 0n my old Shunyata Hydra. I just had a new cord made a few months ago with DH Labs RED Wave Signature and a special plug. Where I am investigating new PC is on my amp, where there is a DH Labs Red Wave Signature now. That will graduate to the DAC. So if these Furutch are that finicky then maybe I shall pass.
