Furutech told us: “Not only does it lift audio cables off the floor and enable optimum alignment between connectors and sockets, it also provides additional damping support for both cables and connectors – boosting their performance by allowing a more pure and clear signal”.
As its name suggests, a key ingredient in the NCF Booster is Furutech’s Nano² Crystal Formula (NCF), an ‘active’ anti-resonance damping material.

For the full effect to be delivered only those handed over the counter in Athena shops will do (passage through Royal Mail’s hands corrupts them irretrievably) and with the closure of the last of these in 2014 the supply is now dwindling fast. This applies in particular to the ultimate high end ones i.e. those which contained the poster of the tennis girl scratching her ultimate high end.
The system in the picture is a joy to behold. But clearly it shows ‘work in progress’. The empty space in the centre has obviously been prepared for the final element, without which audio nirvana will remain beyond reach. I speak, of course, of the Entreq grounding box.
