Furutech The Roxy Power Cord
All enthusiasts look for the same qualities from their systems: Verisimilitude to the original event, a sense of engagement promoting suspension of disbelief, a visceral immersion in the audio and video experience. To engage without effort requires meticulous preparation of the entire playback chain, especially signal-carrying cables, and especially the power cord which carries the same signal your system plays back.
Picking up a Furutech power cord, from these supple, beautifully-made upgrade power cords for high performance audio, the integrity of the cable’s build is immediately apparent. Furutech Pure Transmission quality turns a macro lens on every element of power transfer applying optimized engineering solutions to well-known problems such as contact resistance, EMI and RFI rejection, and using the best materials and processes available. The Roxy Power Cord, with its slimline FI-C15 IEC connector is the perfect cable for those components with space restrictive IEC inlets that require a small IEC connector. It is also the perfect power cord for turntable and phono stage use.
The Furutech The Roxy Analog Component Power Cord has been designed and tuned to complement a wide range of analog components. It delivers a balanced energy allowing for a powerful, yet stable and defined bass. Greater extension at both low and high frequencies delivers clears and dynamic imagery in an ultra-quiet soundstage. The new slimline IEC connector also allows for easy connection to light weight components, like phono stages and is perfect for fitting space restricted IEC sockets that can be found on some high-end components.

HI-FI Choice Review:
The Roxy is an expensive-looking product with a mains plug that is beautifully built and finished – something that won’t come as a complete surprise to fans of the brand. It hasn’t scrimped on the cable either; this has a 37-strand silver-plated OFC conductor for live, neutral and earth, and each has a five-layer dielectric. The conductors are enclosed by a polyethylene dielectric, and all three are wrapped in a cotton inner filler, with a paper barrier layer, an outer sheath in lead-free PVC and finally a tough, nylon yarn braid outer sleeve. The result is something that’s fairly pliable yet damps down vibration effectively, as well as being sturdy. Both the three-pin mains and IEC plugs feature Furutech’s own two-stage ‘Alpha’ cryogenic and demagnetisation process.
Sound quality
Sonically, the Furutech Roxy is impressive and upgrades on the bundled mains leads you get thrown into the box with many components. Slotting it in front of a source component takes a layer of glare and ‘glint’ out of the sound; tonally it’s darkly translucent instead of shiny white gloss. This in turn means less distraction; you can hear into the music better and things seem more three dimensional. There’s a lot more detail than a cheap cable, yet it doesn’t throw it in your face either. Rhythmically, the spaces between the notes are easier to discern, and that makes for a more propulsive and engaging sound that gets the foot tapping. It’s also able to track micro dynamics better than most, giving a lithe and expressive feel to proceedings. Overall, this new Furutech is a worthwhile step into serious mains cables, and represents fine value for money. DP
