Furutech Pure Power 6 NCF / Pure Power 6E NCF : High-end performance luxuriously-engineered passive power distributor block
The Pure Power 6 NCF / Pure Power 6E NCD is Furutech’s ultimate expression of their Pure Transmission Philosophy – a meticulously designed, engineered and built single-chassis power distributor that eliminates many common problems found in audio and video components caused by contaminated electrical power lines.
How can you tell you’re a victim of polluted AC power? Listen and look for these symptoms: Flat, hard, and grainy high frequencies, a thick and bloated midrange, fat, uncontrolled bass, and loss of air and soundstage stability. On video displays the picture resolution is less than sharp, with “ghosting”, color shift, “snow”, or vertical and horizontal lines. If this looks and sounds familiar, you need Furutech!
Furutech’s total awareness and devotion to detail results in a greater sense of power, dynamics, and resolution, with cleaner, blacker backgrounds and a larger, more stable soundstage, vivid tonal colours and deeper extension at both ends of the frequency range.
The Pure Power 6 NCF will allow the delicacy, refinement and nuance of a performance through, along with micro- and macro-dynamics that will leave you breathlessly engaged. Displays of all types will exhibit greater, sharper resolution with less ghosting, colour shift, `snow`, or vertical and horizontal lines….

PURE TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGY IN ITS PUREST!
ADVANCED MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES ENSURES STABLE QUIET POWER FOR YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM
Furutech reveals their upgraded Pure Power 6 AC Mains Distributor, the ultimate expression of Furutech’s Pure Transmission Technology, now with Furutech’s proprietary NCF technology:
All parts contains an “active” damping material, called Nano Crystal2 Formula (NCF) — Nano Crystalline, Ceramic and Carbon Powder. NCF is comprised of a special crystalline material that has two “active” properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static and secondly, it converts thermal energy into far-infrared. Furutech then combines this remarkable crystalline material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional “Piezo Effect” damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal2 Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material – only found in Furutech products!
Nano Crystal2 Formula eliminates static, “interconverts” thermal, mechanical and electrical energy and damps vibrations – all for the finest Furutech Pure Transmission signal imaginable.
Luxury Build
The Pure Power 6 NCF is built like a Swiss bank vault, a virtual black hole for EMI and RFI. The substantial, beautifully-crafted chassis is precision CNC-machined from solid aerospace-grade aluminium alloy that effectively shields against RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).
Three separate milled compartments house three independently-wired duplex receptacles using top-quality Fluoropolymer-shield high-purity silver-plated α (Alpha) OFC. The hot and neutral conductor bundles from the IEC are loomed into a large, centrally-located chamber–secured Bugatti-like with eight beautifully machined rivets—that’s filled with Furutech’s EMI-absorbent Formula GC-303 material. GC-303 absorbs the high-frequency noise that develops whenever passing current through wire. This exceptional EMI-isolating material is also used in other Furutech power distributors and filters, as well as in modules surrounding all Reference III cables.
Furutech’s patented GTX-D NCF US Receptacles (or FI-E30 NCF SCHUKO sockets) enhance the vault-like build, ensuring the tightest and most secure power cord fit imaginable. Pure Transmission Technology is applied at every level: The rhodium-plated receptacles are not simply flush with the outer chassis but tapped 25mm into the thick aluminum for an outstandingly tight fit.
Furutech’s already robust mounting flanges at top and bottom of each duplex outlet are held in place against the chassis with thick aluminum blocks applying pressure along the entire width of the flange rather than just securing it with screws at four points.
When Furutech say Pure Transmission, they mean it. Each duplex receptacle is additionally stabilized with double Axial Locks; a pair of special factory-torqued screws anchor the back of each receptacle at two points for ultimate mechanical integrity.
Furutech’s Two Step Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Alpha Process works in tandem with other design-in features to create the most optimized AC power transfer possible.
Furutech’s total awareness and devotion to detail results in a greater sense of power, dynamics, and resolution, with cleaner, blacker backgrounds and a larger, more stable soundstage, vivid tonal colours and deeper extension at both ends of the frequency range. The Pure Power 6 NCF will allow the delicacy, refinement and nuance of a performance through, along with micro- and macro-dynamics that will leave you breathlessly engaged. Displays of all types will exhibit greater, sharper resolution with less ghosting, colour shift, `snow`, or vertical and horizontal lines.
Formula GC-303:
GC-303 is a special material that Furutech layers and bonds to the interior bottom-plate of the chassis (see illustration below). It actually absorbs EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) generated by the internal fittings of the unit. The Pure Power 6 NCF uses no other filtering besides GC-303 so AC resistance is kept to a minimum, allowing a more resolving, powerful, dynamic, and colorful performance from your components.
Furutech’s Two-Stage Cryogenic and Demagnetization Alpha Process:
Using cutting-edge technology and materials, Furutech developed a low-temperature two-stage process that significantly improves every facet of audio and video performance. The treatment begins during the manufacturing process with a deep, conditioning cryogenic freeze of all metal parts. Using high-end refrigerants — liquid N2 or He — Furutech achieves temperatures of between -196 to -250C. The treated parts actually change their molecular structure at these extremes of temperature relieving internal stress. The molecules bond together more tightly and the overall structure becomes more stable. This improves electrical conductivity and so power and signal transfer.
Step two in the Alpha Process exposes these same parts to the patented Ring Demagnetization treatment. Ordinary high power magnets used for this purpose often increase magnetization effects; they leave some areas more magnetized than others. Just like a CD spinning over a fixed magnet; when the CD stops the area above the magnet is still exposed to the magnetic field causing audible effects. This patented process uses controlled attenuation to completely eliminate magnetization for immediately more vivid and colorful improvements. Ring Demagnetization further enhances conductivity of all treated materials. The patent holder for this treatment is Sekiguchi Machine Selling Co., Ltd. in Japan; Furutech are licensed users of the technology.

Dagogo – December 2007
“The result of my entire system employing the EMI- and RFI-cleaning action of the Pure Power 6 was the unveiling of purity in an extremely wide bandwidth, from the bottom-end to the top-end, an experience of such range that I never encountered from the other power conditioners/filters I have auditioned. More than a year after I published a review on Furutech’s top 15-ampere capacity, 6-IEC AC filter, namely the e-TP609, the Japanese company has now become the only one in the world able to create the ultimate in connection, integrity, and non-electronic implementations of designs in combating AC line noise for high-end audio purposes.” – Constantine Soo
Sound Rebels– December 2007
“The adventure with the Japanese PURE POWER 6 power strip allowed me to verify my views on such toys. So far it is the first power unit that is non-limiting in my system…..whether you like it or not, you have to confront yourself in lending it for testing, but one thing is certain, even in the slightest I did not notice any reduction of dynamics or averaging of the sound….for all audiophiles….I recommend you to familiarize yourself with the Pure Power 6‘s ability to supply the power of our carefully assembled systems.” – translated version
SoundRebels – Oct 2022
“I ask you to forgive me, that I did not put to many concrete items in what I wrote, but it is extremely difficult to describe something, that is an achievement of a level of realism close to that, what we can experience only during a live musical event, and is far from what we are used to with classic Hi-Fi and distorted by High-End. Because we should not deceive ourselves, most “audiophile” systems are distorting the reproduced material, making it a kind of caricature, directing the attention of the listeners to the second or third rank events, and not to that, what really happens on stage. The Furutech duo, on the other hand, does not interfere with the source material, it does not interpret it, but only does not limit the dynamics dormant in the system, while taking care of removing any dirt that would like to enter our system with the lifegiving power. That, and only that, especially taking into account, that we deal here with a strip without any active filtration and a seemingly ordinary cable. But the devil is in the details, as usual, and in this case the minimalism and the uncompromised construction of both items make the Furutech Project-V1 and the Pure Power 6 NCF become a class on its own, and I would wish to have them form the basis of the power supply for my system. And I wish you exactly the same thing.” – Marcin Olszewski
“So are the described power components from Furutech, the Project V-1 and Pure Power 6 NCF a proposition suitable for everybody? I can clearly say yes. Without such brilliant approach to the construction of the virtual stage, there is no talking about extreme High End. Unfortunately you are not always able to test it for yourself, but once you do, your life as a high quality music reproduction lover will never be the same. So where is the catch? Well, life on earth is brutal, and all kind of hype can be toned down by the price of the tested gear. However if your status allows for some kind of purchasing nonchalance, then I see no other option, than to have those Japanese products visit you, if only for a try-out. But I do warn you, if you are telling the truth about freely moving through the offerings of top High End, then you will have an issue when you borrow those. Like I almost did – but I am in the midst of rebuilding my analog system, so for now this had no chance. But I must tell you, not often in life, I did experience something so positive.” – Jacek Pazio
