    Audio Note UK vs Audio Japan Sonic Differences

    Furutech Bulk Power Cable

    Hello Thieliste, I can gladly confirm this impression from my own experience.

    What are you doing about EMI/RFI?

    Hello, When using folding ferrites, please make sure that they are taut / tight around the cable, the perfectly fitting diameter is therefore important. Loose ferrites on the other hand are ineffective to ineffective. Regards Rainer

    Most of the cars presented here are sports or extreme sports cars, so I like to present my cars with the best finish as an alternative: VW Phaeton. When the wooden flaps with motors moved in front of the air vents, that was interesting to see every time, then you looked again at a continuous...

    Good morning Stephan, the newer Terzian III are small, but present incredibly (powerful and fine-drawing at the same time). The stands are a feast for the eyes, but difficult to photograph so you can understand their design. Viele Grüße von Rainer

    Hello sherridd 2, I would like to raise an objection to this........ The combination of shielding to earth as suggested in the video is not mandatory and not always advantageous. For example, the Furutech Top power cables Nanoflux and Nanoflux NCF (I use both) are manufactured by the...
