Furutech Roxy
Sound quality
Sonically, the Furutech Roxy is impressive and upgrades on the bundled mains leads you get thrown into the box with many components. Slotting it in front of a source component takes a layer of glare and ‘glint’ out of the sound; tonally it’s darkly translucent instead of shiny white gloss. This in turn means less distraction; you can hear into the music better and things seem more three dimensional. There’s a lot more detail than a cheap cable, yet it doesn’t throw it in your face either. Rhythmically, the spaces between the notes are easier to discern, and that makes for a more propulsive and engaging sound that gets the foot tapping. It’s also able to track micro dynamics better than most, giving a lithe and expressive feel to proceedings. Overall, this new Furutech is a worthwhile step into serious mains cables, and represents fine value for money. DP
