User reviews

Michel

Once upon a time, 8 years ago, I purchased a FURUTECH power strip that came with a power cable from the same brand, solidly built but still entry-level, as is often the case with this type of commercial offering. I decided to stick with FURUTECH and, after 8 years, opted for a new power cable: THE ASTORIA-E. Stiff as a board and quite hefty straight out of the box, this cable is not the easiest to set up. However, once installed, even before any break-in period, the difference is immediately noticeable. The level of transparency improves so much that it feels like the speakers are no longer there; the music emerges from nowhere, and the instruments materialize in the space and volume between the two speaker cabinets. Even better, the acoustic signature of a concert hall captured in the recording establishes itself in this space, and—this is something new—it distinctly differentiates itself from the acoustics of the listening room.

Il était une fois, il y a 8 ans, une multiprise FURUTECH livrée avec un câble secteur de même marque et de fabrication sérieuse, mais néanmoins d’entrée de gamme, comme c’est toujours le cas dans ce type d’offre commerciale. J’ai choisi de rester chez FURUTECH en optant, et donc après 8 ans, pour un nouveau câble secteur, THE ASTORIA-E. Raide comme une saillie et pesant son poids au sortir de l’emballage, ce câble n’est pas aisé à mettre en place, mais ceci fait et avant même tout rodage la différence saute aux oreilles. On gagne en transparence à un point tel que les enceintes semblent ne plus fonctionner, la musique surgit du néant, les instruments se matérialisent dans l’espace et volume compris entre les deux coffrets contenant les haut-parleurs. Mieux encore, la signature acoustique d’une salle de concert contenue sur le support enregistré s’installe dans cet espace, allant, et c’est là une nouveauté, jusqu’à se différencier franchement de l’acoustique de la pièce où se situe le système d’écoute..

Honestly, I haven't seen any real and significant improvements.

Honnêtement je n’ai pas vu de réelles et grosses améliorations.

No comparison possible with an original cable. We are in a completely different dimension. Exceptional quality.

Aucune comparaison possible avec un câble d'origine. On est carrément dans une autre dimension. Qualité exceptionnelle.
