For sale is a 10 foot pair of Furutech Alpha Series FS-a speaker cables. One end has Furutech FT-212(G) locking bananas and the other end has FP-202(G) locking bananas. The FP-202(G) locking banana is a unique angle design that allows for an additional banana to be inserted into the center. It allowed me to have two pairs of these cables and configure them as bi-wire or bi-amp. (Additional set is listed separately.)

These were built by Doug at Douglas Connections.

These are in excellent condition, sound great and have been in my system for the past couple of years.

Looking to sell for $275+shipping. Paypal FF.

***I also have Furutech Alpha RCAs and XLRs that will be listed later. If interested in those please PM me.

    Da@* Todd. You’re going to have me buying cables I don’t need. For those not familiar with Doug’s cables, this is a smoking good deal.

    @PSOVLSK I think you need them. Along with the other set so you can bi-wire.

    I already have a pair in my HT. Sad to say, but I think they're the Alphas. Doug made me some of the lower level cables several years ago, but I bought my current set used and honestly don't remember what I have. I might need to do a little research. I'm fairly certain I paid more than your asking price.

    I have Wireworld Eclipse in my 2-channel rig and I'm pretty happy with them. As I said, the low price makes me want to buy cables I don't need.

    Someone should be all over these. I know $200 isn't chump change, but it's a pretty good price to pay to see what better cables can do in your system.

  • This is a GREAT deal. Oddly enough, I need a pair of 10 ft speaker cables, but unfortunately I need spades at both ends. GLWS. Surprised nobody has jumped on these.

    Lone Star Audiofest ...Dallas TX

    When I brought up my personal system to share I let Doug show this conference room and system with his cables...basically this room was his.

    I was there a day earlier setting up my gear with my cables etc. The system had never been all together at same place as I spent a year gather equipment.

    I was having issues with sibilance, and would have sworn...and (panicking) at the same time it was tube related

    Nope it was cable related. So we started for shats and grins 1 pair at a time replacing cables. Not all my cables were causing it issue...fun day kinda' (kindasux when you're setting up for a show).

    We played with my tubes(haha), we scruwed (not a typo...vanilla doesn't like the real word :# ) around with my connections etc

    Finally replaced the speaker cables....Long story short these Alpha Series solved the issue

    Douglas Connection had a great showing at the fest :)
