3rd MO: Furukawa Elect 99.97% Pure Silver Interconnect Cables

Most audiophiles and hifi enthusiasts already know pure silver is one of the best electrical conductors - it has 6% higher conductivity than ordinary copper ones of identical dimensions, but costs much more. But wait… Silver cables cost more??? Not anymore.



I am conducting the 3rd mass order for Furukawa Electric 99.97% pure silver interconnect cables. Furukawa Electric is one of the leading manufacturers of superconductors in the world.

Read the testimonies:



"Very good MO seller. Very timely. He keeps me updated all the time. These silver cables are excellent. The lows tight and punchy. Vocal is very 3D. Highs exceptionally smooth. Better than the Van Den Hul cables I replaced. Thanks for doing the MO." - Ronnie Lee



-----



"Bro, you are the man! Silver cables made affordable to the masses. Nice sounding cables." - Tim



-----



"Larry is a very knowledge seller. I managed to learn quite a few tips from him. The silver cables sound fabulous. Really value for money!" - Lionel Kong



----- *



"I am extremely happy with the cable. To find out if it really is all silver (not silver-plated copper), I dismantled it to see. True enough, it is as described." - William



-----



"This cables are exactly the same ones I bought from Hong Kong in the late 80s. The vocals sound fantastic! I love them so much that I went back to the same shop to buy two more pairs but the owner told me he doesn't sell them anymore. Instead, he recommended Mogami cables and said they are as good. Decided not to waste the trip (and airfare), I bought a pair. The Mogami cables are good but I still miss Furukawa for that extra "oomph". Although I wish I had them 25 years ago but it is never too late as long as I am still alive... Thanks for bringing them to me again." - Michael Lim



----- *



"I bought the cables to try out of curiosity. I have been using silver cables for some time and frankly, these Japanese cables are just okay in my opinion. The sound spread can be wider. Then again, I am comparing them with silver cables that cost 20-30 times more. They are value for money for their sound quality." - Keith * *



-----



"Ok... Here are the long and short of the cables. Like you said, it is smooth. Bass is extended. Vocal has moved back. Stereo imaging and separation is better and more precise. The hardness from of my previous cables gone. Now the minuses... The heat shrink is on mine not properly done. It does not cover the entire jack housing. The highs can be bright on some tracks I tried (but generally not too prominent)." - Mike



-----



"These silver cables sound pretty good. At this price, they are a steal!" - Edmund Chong



-----



“Sorry for my very late reply. I just saw this MO and remembered that I must give feedback. The silver cables are very good. Warm but fast sounding. I find it good for a wide range of music. Okay, only negative I find is the top-end can be a bit too smooth for heavy rock. The cable pouch is nice. I use it to protect my Samsung Note 3." - Gabriel Chua



-----



"Already second order. These cables are very well-made and sound good." - Eddy Loh

Questions and answers



Q : "How do you manage to get PURE SILVER cables at such low prices?"

A: The supplier which I buy the Furukawa Electric cables obtains their cable stock in bulk reels. It is ALWAYS cheaper to buy in bulk reel when silver price is good. In fact, the price of silver has dropped in recent weeks.



Q: "Why are these cables only 99.97% purity while others come in 6Ns or 7Ns?"

A: Well, can you differentiate a 99.97% silver cable and a 7N silver cable? I can't tell (or hear). Frankly, how true are these percentage?



Q: "You stated these cables are made in Japan, how about the connectors and jacks?"

A: ONLY the cable itself is made in Japan. The connectors and jacks are not. HOWEVER, they are of very high quality. Don't worry.



Q: "Are these really PURE SILVER cables?"

A: Yes, they are. The main conductors are made of 99.97% pure silver. I understand your concern. There are many silver-tinned copper cables passing as "silver cables" in the market today.



A: "Are these cables shielded?"

Q: Yes, they are. There is a silver-plated micro-braided shield in every cable.



Q: "Are these cables terminated with silver solder?"

A: Yes. Only 4% lead-free silver solder (either Kester or WBT) is used.



Q: "What material is the outer sleeve made of?"

A: Polyvinyl chloride or PVC.



Q: "Can you do 0.5 meters?"

A: Sorry, no. These cables come terminated from factory in two lengths - 1 meter and 1.5 meters.



Q: "Can you help me get Furukawa Electric 99.97% Pure Silver speaker cables?"

A: Sorry, no. The supplier does not have it.



Q: "Can you terminate with WBT connectors?"

A: Sorry, no. Like I have mentioned earlier, the cables come terminated from factory.



Q: "Can I loan a pair of cable from you to try before I buy?"

A: I don't like loansharks. They create havoc in my neighborhood. One of my neighbours' door kenna "painted" red. Similarly, I don't loan cables for trying and testing. Read my descriptions. They are as accurate as I can describe this cable. * * * *



Q: "If I buy 3 pairs of cable, any discount?"

A: Sorry, no. This is a mass order. If you buy 3 tubs of ice cream from NTUC FairPrice at regular price, does the supermarket give you a discount?



Q: "Do you accept C.O.D.?"

A: No. All payments have to be made via POSB/DBS interbank transfer before MO closes.



Q: "How do I collect the cables from you once they arrive?"

A: I shall inform you the various collection points around Singapore via SMS or WhatsApp. Otherwise, you can always drop by AMK (where I live) in the evening after 9pm. However do contact me at least 30 minutes before you come.
