Furutech's FI-11 series male AC connectors are arguably the best bang for the buck connectors on the market, and will accept larger O.D. cabling (up to 16mm). They are very easy to work with, require no soldering, and will accept up to two 12 AWG wires per terminal. The male blades are made from pure copper and the connector includes Furutech's special "ground jumper" system that connects the housing screws to the safety ground, thus eliminating magnetic interactions. Their clamping mechanism allows superior clamping pressure on the wires, and their cable body clamp is extremely well designed. Mate these with a good AC Wall Receptacle for ultimate performance. Available in the solid (unplated) copper FI-11M (Cu), gold plated copper FI-11M (G), or rhodium plated copper FI-11M (R) versions.

NEW ITEM! The Furutech FI-12ML is similar to the Furutech FI-11 series, but allows for an adjustable right-angle orientation. VH Audio is now the exclusive provider for the FI-12 series with GOLD plating.

Furutech's premium FI-25 and FI-28 series male AC connectors are incredible sounding connectors, and are very easy to work with. They require no soldering, and will accept up to two 12 AWG wires per terminal. The metallic parts are made with OCC, OFC copper or highly conductive phosphor bronze, and include Furutech's special "ground jumper" that connects the screws to the safety ground, thus eliminating magnetic interactions. The FI-25 and FI-28 also grounds the strain relief clamp screws. Their clamping mechanism allows superior clamping pressure on the wires. All versions also undergo Furutech's proprietary demagnetization process and cryogenic treatment. A deep, thick silver layer is plated over the base metal before the final plating is applied to the Rhodium version. Mate these with a good AC Wall Receptacle for ultimate performance.

NEW ITEM! VH Audio is pleased to announce the availability of the new Furutech FI-46 NCF (Gold) and the FI-48 NCF series (Silver or Rhodium)!. The primary differences between these two NCF series between the FI-50 series, is slightly different strain relief clamp screws, as well as the absence of the carbon fiber shell material. The difference between the FI-46 NCFand FI-48 NCF series is the housing int he FI-46 series is made of brushed aluminum, whereas the FI-48 series is stainless steel.

Furutech's state-of-the-art FI-50 Piezo Ceramic series of carbon fiber connectors, includes the FI-50 IEC, FI-52 20A IEC, FI-50M Male connector, and FI-E50 Schuko Male connector! There is also a new version of the Furutech FI-50, with the 'NCF' designation, that includes Furutech's new Nano Crystal Formula (NCF). The base metal is Furutech's Pure copper (not brass or bronze) Rhodium (or Gold) plated Conductor (made with their alpha process). The FI-50 series uses a similar Earth Ground system, similar to their FI-25 / FI-28 series series. The nylon/fiberglass connector body incorporates nano-sized ceramic particles for absorption of vibrations and resonances. Finally a multi layered nonmagnetic stainless steel and carbon fiber housing, which also incorporates an acetal copolymer. Only the absolute best materials were used for this connector series, and it will now likely become the "cream of the crop" of audiophile power connectors.
* Specified for cable diameters from 6mm to 20mm
* Dimensions: Body length 40.0mm x 40.5mm diameter x 76.2mm overall length
* Metal cable clamp for improved grip and reduction of mechanically and electrically induced distortion. For more information on the new FI-50 series, please click below:

NEW ITEM! Furutech has made a quality C7 IEC connector for you to use on your own cables! The Furutech FI-8N IEC C7 is the first aftermarket C7 connector available for audiophiles and videophiles, and a major bump in quality vs. the molded rubber connector you'll find on stock cords. A great alternative to C7 adapters. Available in Gold or Rhodium platings.

The Furutech FI-C15 slimline IEC is an outstanding connector solution if you own LINN, Devialet McIntosh amplifiers, some subwoofer manufacurers (as well as others), with IEC sockets that are in difficult spots. Some components don't have the necessary space to allow conventional aftermarket IEC's to fit. The Furutech FI-C15 high performance IEC connector's slim design will fit those space constrained IEC sockets with ease! Available in two versions: Gold plated copper, or the NCF version which uses Rhodium plating over copper, as well as Furutech's NCF (Nano Crystal Formula).

Furutech's FI-11 series connectors are arguably the best bang for the buck IEC connectors on the market, and will accept larger O.D. cabling (up to 16mm). They are very easy to work with, require no soldering, and will accept up to two 12 AWG wires per terminal. The electrical contacts' base metal is phosphor bronze, and platings available are copper, gold and silver.THis connector also includes Furutech's special "ground jumper" system that connects the screws to the safety ground, thus eliminating magnetic interactions. Their clamping mechanism allows superior clamping pressure on the wires, and their cable body clamp is extremely well designed. Mate these with Furutech's 15A IEC inlets for ultimate performance. Available in three plating schemes: FI-11Cu (copper), FI-11G (gold), and FI-11Ag (silver).

NEW ITEM! The Furutech FI-12L series is similar to the Furutech FI-11 series, but allows for an adjustable right-angle orientation.

Furutech's FI-25 series IEC connectors are incredible sounding connectors, and are very easy to work with. They require no soldering, and will accept up to two 12 AWG wires per terminal. The metallic parts are made with OCC, OFC copper or highly conductive phosphor bronze, and include Furutech's special "ground jumper" that connects the screws to the safety ground, thus eliminating magnetic interactions. Their clamping mechanism allows superior clamping pressure on the wires. All versions also undergo Furutech's proprietary demagnetization process and cryogenic treatment. A deep, thick silver layer is plated over the base metal before the final plating is applied. Mate these with Furutech's 15A IEC inlets for ultimate performance.

Furutech has just released the 20 amp connectors, available in Rhodium FI-32R or Gold FI-31G plated versions. Mate these with Furutech's new 20 amp IEC inlets for ultimate performance.

NEW ITEM! VH Audio is pleased to announce the availability of the new Furutech FI-46 NCF (Gold) and the FI-48 NCF series (Silver or Rhodium)!. The primary differences between these two NCF series between the FI-50 series, is slightly different strain relief clamp screws, as well as the absence of the carbon fiber shell material. The difference between the FI-46 NCFand FI-48 NCF series is the housing int he FI-46 series is made of brushed aluminum, whereas the FI-48 series is stainless steel.

What makes the FI-50 and FI-52 IEC connectors unique is its use of Furutech's (Alpha) Pure Copper Rhodium plated conductor (or Gold plated conductor for the FI-50). The FI-50 is the only IEC connector I'm aware of that uses PURE copper (not brass, bronze, beryllium, etc...). The FI-50 also uses Furutech's Earth (Ground) Jumper System (US Patent No.: 6,669,491 ), and employs a nylon/fiberglass body incorporating nano sized ceramic particles for absorption of vibrations and resonances. The multi layered nonmagnetic stainless steel and carbon fiber housing of the FI-50 is absolutely beautiful, and also incorporates an acetal copolymer for optimum performance. Only the best materials were used to make the FI-50.

There is also a new version of the Furutech FI-50, with the 'NCF' designation, that includes Furutech's new Nano Crystal Formula (NCF).

NEW ITEM! FI-06 (Gold or Rhodium) The new Furutech FI-06 IEC inlet is the successor to Furutech's excellent FI-10 series (below). The primary difference relates to the upgrade from high conductivity phosphor bronze to pure, solid copper used in the FI-06. Please note that the size of the FI-06 is larger than the FI-10, so please checkout your cutout dimensions to ensure the FI-06 will fit. The new > Furutech FI-06 NCF < is also now available, using Furutech's new Nano Nano Crystal Forula.

FI-09(R) & FI-09(G) - Furutech has just introduced the FI-09 15 AMP PREMIUM Gold or Rhodium plated IEC inlets! This newly designed 15A IEC inlet utilizes the same clamping technology as found in Furutechs 20 amp inlets and connectors. Will accept up to 4mm wire diameter and the clamping plates are made of pure copper, NOT brass.

> More details and cutout dimensions for FI-09 (.pdf) <

FI-33(R) & FI-33(G) - Furutech has recently introduced the FI-33 20 AMP Gold or Rhodium plated IEC inlets! To my knowledge, these are the very first serious attempt at an audiophile grade 20 amp IEC inlet. The clamping mechanism is similar to that of the FI-25 series connectors, but is futher refined with a patent pending pressure plate that increases the surface area and grip of the clamps. You can easily get two 12 AWG conductors into each termination point (H, N, G).

> More details and cutout dimensions for FI-33 (.pdf) <

NEW ITEM! FI-03 (G) & FI-03 (R) - Furutech has just introduced the FI-03 15 AMP IEC inlets with an integrated 5X20mm fuse holder. Please note fuses are sold separately. This newly designed 15A IEC inlet means you can the cheapo stock inlets with something of subsantially higher quality. Dimensions: 44.0mm (W) x 28.6mm (D) x 33.0 (H) Rated up to 10A at 250V.

The Oyaide Inlet R is a highly anticpated product that is finally here! The Oyaide Power Inlet R is Oyaide's statement inlet, and is very simply composed of just a housing and blades. The housing is made with 30% glass filled PBT, for quality, durability, vibration absorption, and heat resistance. Due to the wider area where the cable is to be attached, it makes soldering work easier compared to a regular power inlet. The blade is trimmed down from phosphor bronze, and after hand polishing, is plated by platinum and palladium, determined to be the best sounding based on Oyaide's repeated tests with prototypes.
