![]() Mitsubishi Materials designed the new conductor to optimally align the copper crystal grain structure in addition to reducing crystal grain boundaries. However, DUCC purity goes a significant step further. Furutech’s world famous Pure Transmission α-OCC is the result of further processing with the Alpha Super Cryogenic and Demagnetizing treatment. Thus, OCC’s sensitivity to directionality one path exhibits the least resistance. Straight OCC’s benefits are its larger “fibrous” crystals in which one dimension is longer than the other two so as to create as few crystal junctions as possible. Mitsubishi process this extremely pure oxygen-free copper with new technology that optimally aligns the crystals while reducing the number of crystal-grain boundaries resulting in a tremendously efficient conductor. (MMI is the leading manufacturer of the highest-purity oxygen-free copper in the world) α (Alpha) OCC –DUCC is constructed using a combination of DUCC Ultra Crystallized High Purity Copper and Furutech’s world famous Pure Transmission α (Alpha)-OCC.įurutech DUCC Ultra Crystallized High Purity Copper - supplied and regulated with strict quality control by Mitsubishi Materials Industries - is one of the best conductors Furutech engineers have found for signal transmission. But if you’re looking to DIY with some end-game wire, take a listen to the 11 AWG, Furutech DPS-4:įurutech’s α (Alpha) OCC‐DUCC is one of a select few of conductors that Furutech engineers have found to excel in sound reproduction. If it were that easy, everyone would successfully start their own cable company. It takes experimentation, tons of time – and of course, money. Bottom line, every cable designer has their technique and secret sauces. In order to better it, I’ll have to invest a lot more money and time. Aside from the plethora of different cabling and connectors to choose from, there’s also additional care involved (geometry, periodic tightening of connector screws, the use of contact enhancers such as Furutech Nano Liquid, etc). The Vovox Textura also sounded better than some of the (more expensive) DIY cables I’ve made. Depending on the equipment, I actually preferred it to some $2,000+ cables. It’s not the tightest, most detailed, or most transparent but it’s warm and strikes a balance between price and performance. More often than not, it’s actually cheaper and better to buy from an established company – or from the used market.įor example, if you’re on a budget, the cable I usually recommend is the Vovox Textura. Just because you’re able to obtain the wire and connectors, doesn’t mean a DIY will sound better. I’ll be honest, there’s more to DIY than I expected. My DIY 7N Acrolink power cord with Furutech FI-28M(G) connectors. Like many, I’ve only used Furutech connectors. I’ve even tried fancy “audiophile” solder. I’ve tried wires from Acrolink, VH Audio, Duelund, Belden, and a few others. I’ve dabbled in building my own power cords. Most systems require at least six to seven of them – and they could get expensive very quick ly. We all know a great quality cord could be transformative. If there’s one cable we audiophiles need more than any other – it’s the power cable. Some even went on and created their own cable company – such as WAVE High Fidelity. People have found affordable ways of getting better sound with a little bit of elbow grease and a soldering iron. With these insane prices for audiophile cables, DIY has rightfully grown in popularity.
