Welcome to the product page for Townshend Audio's Ultimate Interconnects - F1 Fractal™ Interconnect. Prepare to embark on an extraordinary audio journey like no other.

After relentless dedication and meticulous refinement, we proudly present our latest masterpiece, the F1 Fractal™ Interconnect. Building upon the success of our renowned DCT300 interconnect cable, we have harnessed the power of the revolutionary Fractal-Wire™ proprietary treatment process, taking Enhanced Deep Cryogenic Treatment (EDCT) to new heights.

While we keep the intricacies of our breakthrough treatment process a closely guarded secret, rest assured that you have yet to experience true transparency until you've encountered Townshend Audio's Fractal-Wire™. Get ready to be immersed in unparalleled sonic purity.

At the heart of our innovation lies the remarkable Fractal Treatment, a game-changing advancement in audio technology. Witness a remarkable reduction in DC resistance of up to 10% with our cutting-edge Fractal™process. By ingeniously transforming the crystalline lattice structure of copper, we have opened up a new dimension for discerning audio enthusiasts like yourself.

Each Fractal-Wire™ Interconnect is meticulously handcrafted, ensuring minimal contact with the insulator. The signal travels through an ultra-thin, polyester-coated enamelled copper wire, spiraled around a thicker bare copper ground. This tightly spaced design effectively shields against external electric fields, completely eliminating hum in valve amplifier setups and blocking radio frequency interference (RFI).

By reducing the frequency of contact between the signal conductors and the inner PTFE tubes, we have minimized degradation caused by dielectric mass. The PTFE tubes, in turn, are encased within a clear PVC outer, providing additional protection and durability.

Terminated with the industry-leading Neutrik RCA phono plugs, featuring a spring-loaded ground collar. For the balanced version of the Fractal-Wire™, two strands of the ultra-fine enamelled copper conductor are expertly spiraled together with a parallel drain wire, ensuring optimal performance. It is terminated with Neutrik XLR plugs.

Now, let the music take center stage as you indulge in the extraordinary capabilities of the F1 Fractal Interconnect. Elevate your audio experience to unprecedented heights and immerse yourself in a realm of sonic excellence.

Note: We present to you a few mini-reviews of the F1 Fractal Interconnect, a testament to its remarkable performance and unrivaled quality:

Fractal F1 Interconnect - HiFi News Editor’s Choice Award - PAUL MILLER 
"This is a cracking set of cables – Townshend may be rather coy about the Fractal process itself but the benefits of cryogenic cooling are already well established just as the elegant solid-core conductor and air/PTFE methodology ticks all the right boxes. The cable sounds deliciously smooth and detailed, promoting the kind of easy-listening, inky-black backgrounds typically associated with the best audio systems. Go on, treat yourself!" 

Robert H.Levi Positive Feedback:
“On the heels of the ridiculously superb (passive) Allegri+ preamplifier (HERE), with its secret sauce…fractal wire…comes the introduction to America of Townshend F1 Fractal Interconnects. (There are speaker cables also, but I did not have them for review.) The interconnects are extremely exotic looking and terminated in excellent shielded push-on connectors. Featuring air dielectric, they are even cryo’ed! They are neutral, open, and superbly detailed. Without a doubt, if you own an Allegri+, you’ll want these, at the very least, connecting it to your amplifier for the purest clarity possible. 
I broke them in on a Cable Cooker for 48 hours, and tried them in various locations in two systems. They were immediately sonically perfect in and around the Allegri+. Otherwise, the F1 may need a bit of tube rolling or cable swapping to perfectly match their unmatched lack of colorations in your particular system. I heard no lumps or bumps from lowest lows to airiest highs with the F1. What I do hear is definition to die for, with extraordinary in-the-room realism.  
These will have audiophiles going nuts for years as they grasp the earth shaking engineering and near perfection of these interconnects. All I know is that connectivity is truly the final frontier. 
You must try these if you can afford $1000-$1500 for RCA/XLR for the first meter. I hope to have more to say about this obvious break-through in interconnects…and very possibly speaker cables…soon. This F1 interconnect is a superstar!
I played lots of different music using a selection of sources, both valve and transistor. I particularly wanted to check three areas; 1) depth of frequency range, 2) dynamic range, and how complex sound structures were conveyed from source to amplifier. The first area passed with flowing colours, from lowest bass thumps in ‘Sister Drum’ by Dadawa, to the cymbals in 1970’s LP ‘Feel the Love’ by Love Song was the best I have ever heard. The skin factor, which can limit high frequencies would be off the scale, so no problem there. Dynamic range was not an issue in even the most complex tracks I played; whether Nono, Neillson, Mahler, Sibelius or Britten, or Tangalgo’s energetic ‘La Zucca Barucca’.
The complex orchestration in The Pines of Rome, Respighi, (Chicago Symphony Orchestra) was unflustered. This cable could do it all, and with all types of music. Quite simply, this cable was so open, transparent and unflappable, uninfluenced by anything around it, that I was quite taken aback. Nothing added and nothing taken away. I could just concentrate on the music around me; not the cables and not the hi-Fi! The cable, itself, was just not there. It didn’t worry me that it wasn’t the most beautiful looking or the thickest. I actually didn’t want to see it, I just want to ‘see’ the sound in a 3D audio arena from two speakers. And I really could! It worked equally well with Wilson Benesch, B&W or Graham LS5/9s, and with vinyl or CD into transistor or valve amplifiers. My Krell KSS 20i CD is well known for bass emphasis, sometimes overstating the rest of the audio, but it didn’t mask or slow the rest of the frequencies.
I have personally only found two other interconnects that don’t leave a musical signature – whether it be tonal or timing –  this F1 was up on the top with them, and much faster than Lewis Hamilton.  I rarely get excited about cables, and having initially expected these to not be anything special, going by the unique design, I have to admit I was wrong. These proved that thinking outside the box can actually be the most sensible thing to do. Something Max does every day.   
I rarely get excited at interconnect, speaker or mains cables. There can be such differences in them. But to find one that just doesn’t leave any footprint and makes my music sound as real as it did in these test, is something I really want to shout out about. This is as good as it gets."

A few customer comments:

1) "Just a quick note of thanks for the fractal Interconnect. With hifi I never rush to judgement, so I have let the cables have a couple of weeks to settle in and boy are they great. My previous cables were hardly bargain basement (Kondo and Transparent) but the F1's give so much more. Listening last night I could discern the different recording studios used for the various tracks on a single album (never has that before). The sound stage is huge and instrument placement is spot on. Instruments also have real body and substance."

2) "I've described my DCT 300 XLR pair as 'wide open windows' and they really are, letting through everything, warts and all. Fantastic cables but not for a system with other issues. Their best aspects are the subterranean bass extension and their incredible dynamic swing." TAS-MARTIN T


3) "Meanwhile, back at the DAC to preamp link, my Townshend Fractal F1 XLR cables arrived earlier today, to replace the DCT-300 XLRs. Beautifully made, easy replacement, on with the music.

This makes the system, temporarily at least, an all-Fractal interconnect setup. It was apparent immediately that the Fractals upgrade the sound quality from the DCT-300s in pretty much every respect. I have always found differences between balanced cables to be much smaller than single-ended, but even so these new cables have all the hallmarks of a high end component.

There is more detail, especially in the leading edges. Drum strikes are better defined (Dire Straits - Water of Love). The bass is tighter but seemingly more plentiful. The most impressive difference is in multiple vocal parts where the individual voices are better differentiated, and overall vocal purity is quite superb (London Grammar - Strong). Listening to Sade - Smooth Operator, I can hear her slight croak when she's giving it her all. Meanwhile, the percussion really picks up the sense of rhythm and the sax solo sounds rather good right next to her."
Turning to classical, I've been listening to Gloria Coates' dense orchestrations and the 2nd movement of her 7th is mesmerising. I am hearing more strings, more going on but without any harshness even in the cymbal strikes. The orchestration is so much easier to unpick than when I listened last night.
At some point I'll turn this into a review. I can't see me taking them out of the system."
