Creative, highly improvisational, exploratory, and mystical sounding with masterful musicianship, Aphrodite’s spatial cues made me feel like I was inside the church with its high ceilings and reverberations. Track 11, “Este a Székelyeknél” (In the evening at the Székelys), is based on a Hungarian-Transylvanian folk tune composed for piano by Béla Bartók in 1908 (from Ten Easy Piano Pieces);  Bartók then orchestrated it in 1931 with woodwinds and strings (No. 1 from Hungarian Sketches). At times, both Frisell’s guitar work and Downes’ organ imitated the high-pitched wood instruments of the Bartók orchestral version, while Cyrille tastefully chimed in with the resonating bells on his cymbals. It gave the piece a pleasant, oriental-like sound that Aphrodite displayed with impressive finesse and delicacy

The Project V1 power cable was a different story. It is clearly a top-flight power cable but its return on investment is not as generous as the NCF Power Vault. It has a price that puts it in a range where you should very carefully audition it before buying. The difference between the V1 and the performance of my Synergistic cables at close to a quarter of the cost amounts to fine-tuning so you probably want your rig to be fairly well sorted out before you start spending very large sums like this on power cables. Like all things Furutech, the fit and finish were superb.

Investing in the Furutech Duplex Outlet, Duplex Plate, and Wall Plate adds up to $541 which starts to look like serious money for a plug in the wall but in the context of a rig costing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, it is something that deserves serious consideration, particularly if you are unable to route a dedicated line to your system. If you are apprehensive, do it in stages. Start with the duplex outlet and progress to the duplex plate and finally the wall plate. And if you have multiple dedicated lines, start with the one for your low-powered source components where the benefits will eventually find their way to your power amps and speakers. For years, the word on the street was that Furutech duplex outlets were the best. The new GTX-D NCF R Duplex Outlet exceeded my expectations and is a very high-value product.
