Furutech Ag-12 : High performance phono cable
Furutech’s Award-Winning Pure Transmission Build Quality is immediately apparent in the construction of the Ag-12 Phono Cable.
The Ag-12 Phono Cable achieves its remarkably quiet soundstage and transparent presentation with α (Alpha) silver-plated µ-OFC conductors, four‐layer shielding and external ground wire, even a specially engineered cable clamp to improve grip and avoid any potential distortion…
Furutech Ag-12 : High performance phono cable
Item Codes:
– Ag-12 : (Straight DIN – RCA)
– Ag-12-L : (Angled DIN – RCA)
– Ag-12-R4 : (RCA – RCA)
Features:
The output of a phono cartridge is vanishingly small and easily polluted by RFI and EMI. Every element of signal transfer must be perfectly engineered to avoid distortion that robs music of life. If you`re going to the trouble of playing vinyl why swamp the low‐level signal in a veritable soup of noisy distortion right at its source!
All enthusiasts are looking for the same qualities: Verisimilitude to the original event, a sense of engagement promoting suspension of disbelief, an immersion in audio and video experience. To engage without effort requires meticulous preparation of the entire playback chain especially including cables and most importantly at the signal source.
The Ag-12 Phono Cable achieves its remarkably quiet soundstage and transparent presentation with α (Alpha) silver-plated µ-OFC conductors, four‐layer shielding and external ground wire, even a specially engineered cable clamp to improve grip and avoid any potential distortion.
All metal parts are treated with Furutech’s Two Step Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Alpha Process.

“The award for the best performance and highest build quality at the lowest price goes to the Furutech AG-12 ” – Michael Fremer
“The Ag-12’s performance sheds the light of extreme clarity on the musical signals that pass through it, the attention paid to addressing noise paying off in an obvious way. There is openness and expressiveness, the sense that the cartridge’s signal is given concierge service on its way to the phono stage, where the heavy (signal) lifting begins. It’s one of the phono cables to beat, and it’s affordable to boot.” – Marc Mickelson
“Take it from me, it sounds damn good. Actually, this cable does a great job at not having a sound. I can tell you that the Furutech AG-12 is the most cost effective upgrade I’ve made to my analog front end – ever. This cable strikes the perfect balance for me; it offers more musical detail without being even a tiny bit harsh.” – Jef Dorgay
“The AG-12’s presentation is well balanced, keeping everything in proportion – or doing everything exceedingly well..” – Marc Mickelson
“It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Furutech around here. Their engineers leave nothing unexamined, nothing to chance. Every one of their accessories that I’ve had a chance to use has increased the performance of my system.” – Jeff Dorgay
