Final Touch Audio (FTA) is a small family company born out of pure love and dedication to music. It combines technical proficiency with artistic craftsmanship, as each one of our products is completely made by hand. Our products are not mass produced, rather they are treated as pieces of jewellery which real connoisseurs come to appreciate.
Through years of trial and error we have perfected our designs and manufacturing principles and practices to the level when we feel confident that our products will serve you and give you pleasure for many years to come.
As we like to say, there is one goal driving us forward and serving us as our purpose in the quest for sublime sound – we want to help you extract each note from your system.
USB Cables: Callisto
In developing the Callisto USB cable, we set ourselves a target to explore and use different types of materials than the rest of the industry is using, and set us apart from modern trends.
Sometimes deviation from current regular practices and trends might bring tangible results and our firm belief is that with Callisto USB cable we managed to achieve that. We looked into the history and laid our eyes on how the Katana swords have been produced. Special attention was given to process of forging and hammering. We decided to use a copper wire which is not purified and possesses a significant amount of Gold and Silver particles inside the wire. Wire has been mechanically treated (hammering) in order to achieve desired gauge and technical specification.
Combination of this copper wires with hand build dielectric has made Callisto USB cable to be unique product on the market in terms of materials used, build quality and as a result of those sound quality. It for sure will help extract each note from your system.
USB Cables: Sinope
After the launch of the incredible Callisto USB cable, and it’s remarkable popularity, we decided to revisit this subject. Quite how do we improve on the Callisto’s performance? Going back to the drawing board, and keeping the accuracy and natural sound already attained in the Callisto, many many hours were spent in the lab trying to push the performance further. It is not just a fact to gain one aspect over another. For example more transparency, depth, soundstage and dynamics. In too many cases in USB cables, one or the other of these characteristics fight with each other and destroy the emotion in the music. The really difficult aspect is retaining the emotion in the music, yet get even closer to the source material, reveal more information. In other words get more of what we want, and non of the downsides.
With the Sinope, we are pleased to announce we have achieved it. There is much more to offer in USB audio, it is a case of finding a way to extract it AND retain accurate timbre and realism in the source at the same time. To say we are excited with the Sinope is an understatement!
Interconnects: Ganymede
Ganymede is a product of years of meticulous work in terms of finding the right balance of used materials and geometry which will yield the optimal aural result.
Our main objective and focus was to provide a cable that is providing an unobtrusive but still seductive sound signature. During our research and many hours spent in the listening rooms we have found that Ganymede meets the goals we have set in front of ourselves and that makes us exceptionally proud.
Ganymede interconnects are made from top of the line copper alloy which is wrapped in cotton impregnated in oil. RCA and XLR versions of cable are available while during extensive testing sessions we have found that only top of the line silver connectors are providing desired results.
Ganymede is able to convey all bits and pieces of musical information in perfect order which as a consequence gives you an opportunity to hear the music and emotions as an author intended to. Having this in mind and the fact that cable is meticulously handcrafted, this makes the Ganymede a unique product that represents a Final Touch in audiophiles’ audio system.
Ethernet Cables: Metis
Despite the common thinking and belief that Ethernet cables do not and cannot make an audible difference transferring those famous zeroes and ones in audio applications we did our best to prove them wrong. As always trial is the best way to go in your decision process and we strongly believe that we achieved to create a unique Ethernet cable for which you will be able to say – Yes this makes a positive difference.
We used the best conductors and connectors available on the market, paying the utmost attention in finding the right balance between diameters of conductor and dielectric material used, while deploying the proprietary geometry of the cable. All of this was carefully and meticulously blended together in order to achieve the lowest possible interference of the cable to the speed of transferred data and lowest possible signal reflections in the cable.
