α (Alpha) PC-Triple C is flexible, strong and can be drawn into a very fine wire. This new conductor, while not single-crystal like PCOCC, features crystal grain boundaries that are almost totally free of impurities which allows even the smallest of signals to be transmitted.

At FutureShop we can custom make this cable for you. All you need to do is select the plug that you want from the source and receiver end from the drop down menus

Furutech FP-TCS31 PC-TripleC Power Cable

 

Furutech’s α (Alpha) PC-Triple C is one of a select few of conductors that Furutech engineers have found to excel in sound reproduction. α (Alpha) PC-Triple C is made with Furukawa high-purity oxygen-free copper using a special forging process. Unlike regular OFC (oxygen-free copper), almost all of the impurities of this high-purity OFC have been removed at the micron level through a special casting process unique to Furukawa. 

Purposely designed and developed for audio signal conductors, α (Alpha) PC-Triple C is flexible, strong and can be drawn into a very fine wire. This new conductor, while not single-crystal like PCOCC, features crystal grain boundaries that are almost totally free of impurities which allows even the smallest of signals to be transmitted. While PCOCC is a single-crystal conductor, it is susceptible to imperfections during production. Since α (Alpha) PC-Triple C employs a fixed angle continuous transport forging process, pressure is applied to the high-purity oxygen-free copper tens of thousands times. This ensures that any crystal grain boundaries that were present in a vertical direction become longitudinal, and the crystals become connected and uniform in their direction. This process also helps to remove the imperfections that are often found in PCOCC, which create a more conductive and acoustic conductor. 

The resulting conductor has an extremely fine resolution down and through the very low noise floor, improved sound staging and image palpability, a musical, attractive, “round” midrange, tight and controlled bass, plus power and dynamics to spare to set your music on fire! 

At FutureShop we can custom make this cable for you. All you need to do is select the plug that you want from the source and receiver end from the drop down menus

 

Optional Fuse Upgrade

As an optional extra, Future Shop will upgrade the built-in fuse to the excellent Blue 13A fuse from Synergistic Research (SR). The SR Blue fuse is an excellent upgrade choice due to the materials used which offer an increase in resolution and realism over standard fuses. Some of the improvements you may hear include; a quieter noise-floor, greater dynamics, a more relaxed sound and detailed musicality.

Optional Sleeving

As an optional extra, Future Shop can upgrade the fuse in the UK plug to one from the excellent, and extremely poular, range of Synergistic Research fuses. Some of the improvements you may hear include; a quieter noise-floor, greater dynamics, a more relaxed sound and detailed musicality.

Contact Enhancer Option

To ensure the best possible connection between your system, Future Shop recommends the DeoxIT Gold G-Series contact enhancer.

DeoxIT Gold is carefully applied to the plug contacts of your cable and is a unique conditioning solution designed to improve conductivity and provide long-lasting protection on gold, base metals and other precious metal contacts and connections. DeoxIT Gold penetrates plated surfaces, molecularly bonding to the base metals to seal and protect both surfaces.

The benefits of applying DeoxIT gold are:

  • Improved Conductivity
  • Maintained optimum signal quality
  • Reduced wear & abrasion
  • Prevents fretting/dendrite corrosion
  • Forms a protective anti-tarnishing coating
  • Stabilises connections between similar and dissimilar metals
  • Reduces arcing, RFI and intermittent connections

Please select this option from the above ‘Contact Enhancer’ drop-down menu and our engineers will apply the contact solution to your cable connectors prior to shipping.

Good Value Cable
16 Apr 2022
Verified Buyer
Very happy with these power cables. I bought three (with Furutech plugs), and whilst price is always relative, I believe they offer an excellent price/performance ratio for higher-end systems.

I added yellow QSA fuses and believe they add at least 50% of the SQ uplift, but I also found the cheaper black fuses to make a significant uptick from standard.

Furutech FP-TCS31 PC-TripleC Power Cable With F1- 1363 gold
31 Oct 2021
Verified Buyer
Having read an online audio site extolling the quality of Furutech my interest was piqued. I emailed Future Shop to enquire further, and received a very helpful response from Dexter, along with recommendations of Furutech cable to consider.

I eventually settled on this cable and the plugs It arrived approximately 29 hrs after making the order!! This cable is the most l had ever paid, however, it is very impressive and the joy of listening to music when it is fitted is fantastic and the joy felt extinguishes any thought of cost (worth every penny). Each track played, l heard something new, the clarity in the soundstage was very apparent.

Future Shop was fantastic to deal with, and l will definitely do so again in the future.

A Quality Cable with very competitive price
19 Apr 2021
Verified Buyer
This is my first Furutech cable. This is a very good quality cable, it's performance is matched with the Shunyata Venom V12 if not better. I was using the V12 for my McIntosh Pre amp, now I am using this FP-TCS31 instead. I noticed a large sound stage right away and it sounds even better after over two weeks burn in besides the

Future shop 96hrs burn in service. I would say the cable now sounds very similar to my another Shunyata V10 (which almost double the price of the Furutech one) in my system. I strongly recommend this cable.

Definite improvement
10 Jan 2020
Verified Buyer
Definite improvement. I purchased the FP-TCS31 along with the plug & amp end terminal as recommended by Adam. Was I sceptical . . . . . . . at £450 for a power cable, yes I was. Did I need to be . . . . . . No! Not at all.

The cable is currently used with a PMC Cor amp, it has toned down the treble, more definition & more depth to the music. I am changing my amp to the Bryston 135 cubed next week & I am confident that the cable will work just as well, if not better.

Future Shop as always was excellent in their advice & delivery.

Improvement
1 Jun 2019
Verified Buyer
I used the thinner FP-TCS21 for my Bryston BCD-3 CD Player and the thicker FP-TCS31 for my Bryston B135 cubed integrated amplifier. I would recommend the FP-TCS31 for power hungry appliances like amplifiers because of its thickness. Improvements against an Isoteo Evo 3 premier power cable include a smoother sound, more dynamics and the ability to keep up with the music's rhythm. Also suitable for users who might find their setup to be too forward / exciting / bright sounding. May not be suitable for systems that are already warm / laid-back sounding as it might overdo the warm effect.

I particularly love the FP-TCS31 - the B135 integrated amplifier doesn't feel 'strangled' with it as compared to thinner power cords; it's probably the effect of a thick cable which by physics, results in less resistance to the current.

Both the cable and excellent pre-sales advice are highly recommended.
18 May 2019
Verified Buyer
Adam from Futureshop gave quick and helpful advice around this cable, and the correct receiver end to use for my integrated amplifier.

The cable was built to order and delivered in good time.
Both the cable and receivers help subtly manage the overall musicality of recordings, and do not add any forwardness to performances.

Great cable!
20 Dec 2018
Verified Buyer
Great cable!. In order to improve MY sound I decided to buy Furutech FP-TCS31 PC-TripleC Power Cable, and run it from the electric board straight to the amplifier using Furutech FI-50 NCF connector. I couldn't believe myself that it would be such a tremendous improvement! The music took me into space! The range of sound frequencies became much wider, lots of new details. I could feel how music enveloped me, and I became part of the sound myself! Now I am thinking to buy the same cable for the sound sources. Huge thank you to Adam and Garry for their help to choose the right product, and a very fast delivery!

Awesome Power Cable
1 Aug 2018
Verified Buyer
Awesome Power Cable. After spending 20,000pounds on various high end esoteric cables and 20 years of pursuing this hobby. Along comes this cable at a fraction of that spend. And drops jaw at its sonic delivery​.

Sound is super clean, unbloated, musical with detailed highs, viscereal mids and tight honest, just as it should be bass​. It sounds like my Devialet800 (clean) Naim 500 (fast) and Krell evolution 900(power) mated and gave birth to this Furutech “umbilical “ cable​.. Ha ha !

I guess all the science, research, tech brainstorming that Furutech has put into making this cable shows. ​The capability comes from its well engineered DNA put into it, from great money, hardwork and study spent by its makers.​ Kudos to Furutech. What you claim on white paper comes true in practicality.​ Skeptics need to hear this cable asap ! ​

My Magnepans 20.1 is giving me the bass ive never heard before. Sonus Faber Stradivarius and Proac D40R are presenting beguiling and mesmerising sonics in other rooms.

All i did was a replace a core power backbone cable with this Furutech on a 20 ~ 40A, grid line bearing 240vac, straight into a power conditioner.​ Next step is to upgrade all other component power cables to this Furutech.​ And wait for the magic!!​

Future shop the very best. ​
With Gary and Adam at the helm, providing excellent service and support, in securing exemplary products.​

A really good cable and a really good service from Futureshop

Verified Buyer
A really good cable and a really good service from Futureshop. A really good cable - worth using very good quality connectors (I used FL-50 and FL-1363). I was amazed by the positive impact these had on sound quality (especially bass response). Futureshop offer a great make-up service and put on a black braid for me that makes the cable look really high quality as well. Delivery took longer than forecast but I have no hesitation in using Futureshop again.

The best yet...
20 Mar 2018
Verified Buyer
The best yet...I had two power cords for my Devialet amps. made with this cable. I specified top of the range rhodium NCF connectors. These cables trounced offerings from Crystal Cable and Shunyata.
Bass is full, tight and decisive. Treble is crystal clear without being in any way harsh or tiring. Midrange is fantastically informative. Dynamics are allowed to flow freely as are micro dynamics, making for a beautifully detailed sound. I cannot praise these cables highly enough for sound quality and value for money. My cables cost £767 and the Shunyata equivalent came in at £1250!

These cables will be staying in my system and the search for perfect sound is over.

I have been around the block a few times on the mains cable merry go round in 30 years, well finally i can now jump off sit back and enjoy the music. The improvements in sound with this cable using the very top NCF connectors will compete and beat all the multi thousand pound cables i have tried by a country mile.knowing my personality and asking my requirement as a customer for my system I was advised by Adam to buy the FP-TCS31 with the best furutech connectors i could afford which is what i did and my god the improvements were straigh out the bag from cold, if you are looking for the very high end of mains cables i advise you to start here and enjoy. I am in no way reviewing this cable but i can only say it betters anything else i have ever used by a significant margin in all areas of reproducing real music into your front rooms. I use it on all my components and my system has never sounded like this it sounds so realistic in every department, i am so glad i choose the NCF connectors i believe they put the finishing touches on, but i would also bet that this cable sounds as good with the cheaper high quality options, how far do you go is the question i went FP-TCS31 with NCF connectors and i am so happy with the results i can now enjoy the music until its time for a component change, these cables are definite keepers, great service from futureshop as always

I'm a power cable sceptic by nature but every review I read concludes that the super power cable made all the difference. I have tried power cables from Chord, VdH , pure silver cable, tinned copper cables etc but with no discernible improvement. I decided to make my own using this cable and I also purchased a Furutech FI-UK 1363 Mains Plug - Gold . The cable is used to run a Gamut D200 III amp into Pureaudioprojec-t Trio 10 speakers , fed by a HugoTT dac. The improvement is significant, more open treble, and clearer detail all round . The overall ambience is more realistic. The value is excellent for what you get in comparison to much more expensive cables. Highly recommended.

20 May 2016
Verified Buyer
Firstly let me start by saying that as usual the service from Future Cables is exceptional. I was served by Adam in sales and he helped me reach the right decision on the way forward to make my own power cords. I bought this cable for my preamp and can say that the sound compared to my previous high-end power cord is significantly more open, detailed, dynamic and the sound stage is a lot more precise. For the cable naysayers, I have my non-hifi family but they do listen to a lot of music and they all independently confirmed my findings. Quite simply, the whole sound is a lot cleaner and the music just sounds lovely. Points to note: the cable is thick and a bugger to wire up. You will need to buy quality IECs like Furutech that take large cables and MS HD Plugs. I was lucky enough to have got an IEGO Silver IEC and a Rhodium Plug. Hope this helps.
