The GT2 is a beautifully engineered and built USB 2.0 cable for enthusiasts with growing music collections on their computer hard drives looking for high performance sound.
Hard Disk Management
More and more people have amassed large collections of music on their computer hard disks, and there are an increasing number of USB-input DACs to serve them. If properly setup and implemented computer-based systems are capable of smooth and detailed sound, especially with high resolution recordings. But as with any system component you need quality, well-engineered and built USB cables to get there.
Furutech turned its Pure Transmission engineering talents toward creating the highest quality 2.0 USB cable possible. They begin with silver-plated a (Alpha) OCC conductors and a special-grade high-density polyethylene insulation/dielectric. As illustrated below the GT2 features three-layer shielding and specially engineered 24k gold-plated USB 2.0 connectors. As with the more highly specified GT3, the cable wrap includes damping and insulating materials keeping mechanical ringing from affecting the sound. A carefully engineered clamp improves grip and keeps both mechanical and electrical distortion at bay.
The result is much as you will hear from our GT3 USB cable: Clear and open highs, elegant midrange textures, powerful but in-control bass, an enhanced sense of the sheer palpability of the music you’ll enjoy. The GT2 creates real musical experience from the data stored on your computer. Furutech builds each and every cable in their line the same way; optimized engineering solutions applied to advanced materials and processes, backed by utterly meticulous build quality.

| 2011-06-22 d f. | Furutech GT2 USB Cable | I had been to listen to a Dcs Debussy DAc at a local hifi retailers. We couldn't get it to work properly with my computer so a return visit was scheduled. Whilst I had been there I had noticed that the USB cable was an old one of the type that is given away with printers so I decided to get an audiophile one. Having used some Furutech bits in the past I ordered one of theirs from Mains Cables R Us. On my second visit to the hifi retailers we first played some tracks from my laptop through the old cable and it didn't sound bad. Dcs make some fabulous kit and the sound was quite impressive. We changed to the Furutech Formula 2 USB cable and hit play, it took less than a second to hear that this was the biggest upgrade improvement I have ever heard. The shop owner who was wedded to playing disks on Dcs players was startled by what he was hearing. The difference was akin to night and day or possibly black and white and colour. It was astounding. The music I had taken was just CDs ripped to Wav. He had down-loaded a Linn high res track so we played that first as we had played my tracks and then with the u-clock included in the system. There was a difference but nowhere as great as with the change of lead. The retailer has an account with Furutech. However he bought my Furutech USB lead off me so that he could continue using it. My replacement has just arrived, different length, which is why I let the original go. Many thanks |
