The original No. 2 used Furutech’s Alpha 3 cable which was dis-continued some time ago. Now it has been re-introduced we can once again go back to the original recipe!
FP-Alpha 3 cable uses UP-OCC cable which is the purest and best copper for audio use we know of. Serious audiophile performance. The cable is professionally terminated with a Furutech F1-1363 Gold Plated Mains Plug fitted with a HI-FI TUNING AUDIO GRADE FUSE.
At the equipment end we fit an IeGo Dreamworks new design gold plated audio grade IEC connector, a serious cable at a not so serious price. One metre long as standard.
The IeGo iec connector may not be a well known name but the performance speaks for itself. Using a copper base for the contact pins, acid bathed to remove impurities then cryo treated to relieve internal stresses in the materials and finally vapour deposited gold plating to offer a truly stunning connector able to compete with the best models around. The connector is also a very tight fit in the IEC socket on your equipment so loose fits and wobbling parts are non-existent.
Optimise the power supply to any equipment with an IEC socket, improve sound and picture quality by using the best available mains lead possible.

“OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE “
“This power cord in its standard iteration with the IeGo gold IEC connector is simply outstanding. It outperforms many substantially higher priced cables. It produces quiet backgrounds, is timbrally accurate, has a wide dynamic range, has excellent imaging, does not spotlight any area of the frequency spectrum, is neither overly analytical nor is it diffuse in any way. In orchestral music, individual parts are clearly discernible where the recording was so designed, layering of strings is impressive, brass, woodwinds, percussion and strings sound as they should. Choral music can really test a system’s resolving power. With this cord, the music never sounded stressed, voices were reproduced with impressive precision. In testing the cable, I used commercially produced software as well recordings that I had mastered personally from test pressings and master tapes. To that extent, I can say that the power cord does not add any discernible colouration. Of course, there are better cables about and I have heard some that cost more than quite a few motor vehicles. This cable produces top level performance at a relatively modest cost. It is a very fine effort in terms of design and overall conception.”
