Anyone ever heard them in person?

Looks like their power cables get good reviews. Then out of curiosity I looked up their speaker and interconnects and reviews say they sound cohesive and musical with great speed.

Anyone heard for themselves?
 
I've owned a lot of Furutech power cables and demo'd their interconnects and speaker cables.

I would suggest a demo before purchasing brand new. You have to see how you rate their value and sound versus whatever you use. My opinion on their products varied between "this is a revelation" and "this is average and probably overpriced." Of course, Furutech would not be unique to receive that critique when evaluating cables.

I owned Furutech Nanoflux and Nanoflux NCF power cables. The difference between them was the Nanoflux was most the full and robust power cable I had ever heard at that time and the NCF version added speed and clarity while being more neutral and less warm.

My demo of Nanoflux speaker cables was extremely positive. I found the balance of sound in my system almost perfect at the time. I came very close to buying them but my speakers at that time lacked bass so I was looking to have a touch more warmth and wound up with a loom of Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 7 speaker cables and interconnects to use with my Furutech power cables. That combo was perfect for me at that time with the gear I had.

I found that the Furutech Digiflux coaxial cable and Lineflux interconnects didn't really do anything to stand out to me at the time I demo'd them.

Their cables look great and I appreciated the construction. Their latest NCF versions of their Lineflux and latest power cable likely improve performance even more.

They are worth a demo if they appeal to you.

Really appreciate the detailed response. Thank you.
 
I have extensive experience with Furutech cables. For me they are not deailed and fast enough and color the sound too much. Their connectors and power distributors though are world class:)
 
I have the Furutech Lineflux XLR and Furutech Lineflux RCA, Speakerflux 2 x 4,5 meters.
They are very neutral for my system.
They are accuracy, detailed, very fast.
I have the Furutech Pure Power 6E NCF too and the Furutech Nanoflux NCF Powercord...
 
Recently I was offered several pairs of Nanoflux cables..all were supposedly real and all priced right.....except all of them were cheap knock-offs. Be very careful when buying Furutech products, particularly their cables. Most of the knock-offs are very close in looks and design to the real item.
 
Furutech does warn of knockoffs on their website. One can go to the distributers list and contact the one in your region of the world to find out if a dealer is authorized.

Here in the US, as a do it your-selfer, I have found Chris at vhaudio.com to be very helpful.

Dealers are the best source to determine validity. However, as an example, a good friend of mine, and a very seasoned a'phile, just sold a Furutech product on line. I noticed after he had sold the piece that it was in fact a fake. He had no clue before that and had paid ( and was paid) close to retail for it. He is still trying to rectify the situation with the Buyer.
Looking at the piece he sold, the difference between the real and the fake was extremely hard to tell.
Another friend bought fake Nanoflux cables on line, paid thousands for them...and all are knock-off's.
 
Pearce-

That really sucks for your friends. It's one thing to loose money on knock-offs but a whole other thing to rectify one's integrity (unknowingly) from an on-line resale.

In the spirit of full clarification,, Chris at vhaudio is an authorized dealer.

I have bought my Furutech gear from Chris at VHaudio. As you say, he is the real deal.
There are a number of knock-off's in the cable world, Nordost has the same problem, as does Zenwave and a few others I have heard about. IMO, the issue with knock-off's has gotten out of control.

Nah, just look up people who try and disguise their true identity because they were thrown off of audio forums.

I've told you before that you can change your name and your IP address, but you can't change your personality.
