Townshend Audio F1 Fractal RCA Interconnects
You can earn loyalty points on every order you place on this website. If you select to create an account at checkout, your loyalty points will be saved and you can use these to discount future orders online.
Each product page shows you how many loyalty points you can earn when you order that item. Essentially, for each £1 you spend, you earn 1 loyalty point and for every 1 point earned, 1p will be added to your loyalty point balance (this is the same as some of the UK's biggest loyalty point cards). So for example, if you spend £500, you'll earn 500 loyalty points which can be used to discount a future order by £5.00.

Description
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal interconnects are made with "fractal-wire", Townshend’s ultimate RCA interconnects, available in a selection of lengths.
It took a long time for Townshend to improve the Isolda EDCT (Enhanced Deep Cryogenic Treatment), but they finally achieved it by developing the Fractal-Wire proprietary treatment process. This is as big a breakthrough as was achieved and much imitated when they discovered the benefits of Enhanced Deep Cryogenic Treatment (also applied to Fractal-Wire). However, this time they're keeping the details to themselves! Suffice to say that you have not heard a truly transparent cable until you’ve heard Townshend Audio Fractal-Wire.
Each Fractal-Wire Interconnect is made by hand because this is the only way to build a cable that has the absolute minimum contact with the insulator. The signal travels through a very thin polyester coated enamelled copper wire, which is spiralled around a much thicker bare copper ground. Because signal and return conductors are so tightly spaced external electric fields cannot get in. As a result, these cables completely stop hum in valve amplifier setups, whilst blocking radio frequency interference (RFI).
As the signal conductors only come into occasional contact with the inner of the two concentric PTFE tubes degradation due dielectric mass is kept at the barest minimum. The PTFE tubes are in turn placed inside a clear PVC outer.
Fractal-Wire is terminated in the industry best Neutrik Profi RCA phono plugs which have a spring loaded ground collar.
