Bulid quality of Furutech GTX series is always top of the bunch.
Grip force is something questionable.
I have more than 5-6 GTX before. The very first one loose all its grip force almost entirely a few years after use.
The very last one before NCF, it gripped so hard that it scratch FI15 rhodium plating off when I pull out.
NCF feel just right, but I haven't pull the Elation out yet.
FYI. But the most dangerously tight ones are from Oyaide R family. It will peel the plating of any connector off !
The ones Audioquest use in Niagara 7000 power conditioner are also said to be destructively tight too.
About NCF, after long after the introduction, many hifi store in Japan still had no idea about it.
Until just in December that I got one form Yodobashi in Akihabara. But Acoustic Revive is quick to
Release the special NCF version under AR brand.
