Furutech Evolution II Audio
Furutech XLR interconnect cable from the Evolution II range, with Alpha-treated conductors and special polyethylene insulation, for a carefully engineered analogue connection.
Description
The Furutech Evolution II Audio is a stereo interconnect cable fitted with XLR connectors, designed to link two audio components via a balanced connection. It sits within Furutech's Evolution range, below the Reference series, while still retaining particularly careful construction.
This model uses conductors treated using the Alpha process, a technology unique to Furutech aimed at limiting distortions linked to metal processing. The insulation is made of special polyethylene, chosen for its ability to withstand high voltages and heat: this characteristic helps reduce the cable's capacitance and improve its mechanical damping, two parameters that influence the stability of the transmitted signal.
Unlike the brand's Reference series, this cable does not feature the GC-303 modules designed to absorb electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is therefore aimed at those seeking careful construction and quality materials, without the most advanced shielding options in the Furutech catalogue.
This cable is suited to a hi-fi setup where one wishes to connect sources, preamplifiers or amplifiers via a quality balanced connection, at a more accessible budget than the brand's high-end models.

What to check before buying used
On this cable without GC-303 modules, it is best to inspect the sleeve and jacket for pronounced bends or creases that could eventually weaken the polyethylene insulation. The XLR connectors deserve careful checking: pins free of oxidation, firm locking and no play on insertion, ensuring a reliable balanced contact. A real-world test remains useful to rule out any crackling or dropouts caused by a fatigued internal solder joint.
