Furutech The Empire Professional Audio UK Power Cable - 1.5m Length
If you’re a musician or a recording professional, ask yourself the following question: Do your current power cords make sense? They might make sense to your budget or in the context of your recording and playback equipment, but are they making sense to your brain? Does the music you create in the studio sound like the music in your head, natural and inviting and emotional? Or do you listen to your music with an imaginary clipboard in your lap, checking off what’s right about the sound you’re getting—and what isn’t so right?
The new Furutech Empire power cord were designed for demanding professionals just like you. Developed in Tokyo with extensive feedback from musicians and recording professionals, the Empire power cords have been specifically tuned and balanced to deliver greater punch and dynamics to your sound—more of what you’re hearing in your head and in your heart. The Empire, offers a well-balanced sound with incredible resolution so that you hear every detail and nuance.
Just replace the existing power cords for your amplifiers, mixing consoles, microphone preamps and even your entire recording and playback system, and you’ll immediately hear more top-to-bottom coherence in the sound. Dynamic range will be greater than ever before, and the music will sound effortless and expansive instead of congested, edgy or muddy. Your music will start to make more sense where it counts—in your brain.
Optional Fuse Upgrade
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.

I've Bought Three of These for my Linn Amplifiers
Johnston Lowry
9 May 2022
Verified Buyer
I bought three now for my Linn Pre (Majik DSM) and Two (Five Channel -5152) Power amps. It has brought a very cost-effective improvement to these amps and a heck of a lot cheaper than upgrading to a newer set of Linn. I think one reason why Linn and others, as well as many dealers, disparage cables (unless, of course, they're selling them) is that they realise precisely that fact. It's all relevant, but I reckon you get much less diminishing returns with cables of this quality and price than you will ever get from a manufacturer or retailer.
The bottom line is that your brain processes and hears the sound, and that's subject to all sorts of influences. But I know what I am hearing is not a confection: it's thoroughly discernible in clarity and timber.

Defies the skeptics: provided you have the brain and ears!

I own a Linn Active System, Oppo 205, so good quality stuff. I can't say enough about the effect these high-quality cables make in authenticating the signal and what comes from the speakers. I also use Wireworld (Fig 8 for my Apple TV), Isotek Distribution Blocks, and a few Isotek cables.
Furutech oozes quality and really has enhanced my listening experience enormously; the image and clarity of sound and audio from Apple TV have also improved very significantly.

Behemoth of a cable
George Wilson

Verified Buyer
This cable is a serious bit of kit. Some will smart at the suggestion but it’s well worth the money; incredibly well built and has made a subtle but noticeable difference to my system. In particular, base is tighter and more lifelike. Versus other similar priced cables—i.e. the likes of Russ Andrews—you’re getting so much more bang for your buck. Highly recommended.
