Neotech NEVD 2001 75ohm Digital BNC Cable

That's a very tidy job you've done there. I may get you to make one for me!

Thanks Dave, will be giving them a proper run this evening.

0.75 metre?

Test report was initially 50/50 but now things looking up.

I've only got an hour or so listening but initially things sounded a little thinner. No idea why, so I swapped back and forth between my standard canare cables and this.

Noticed a few things sounding 'different' with each cable. Noticed the heat-shrink wasn't actually as good as it could be on the new cable so re did it with the heat-shrink being tucked under the plugs for what is now a VERY tight fit but also provides additional strain relief.

Also pushed the coax signal core a bit further into the BNC pin and put it back together.

Shouldn't as the electrical connection was 'working' before and should be the same but it sounds better (might be subliminal of course after 'fixing' the cable!).

Anyway I'll keep it in for a few days now but I'm enjoying what it's doing very much now.

Hi Bruce,

the Aeco connectors can be removed and used with a different cable no problem. I have not soldered the connections on them, although you certainly could.

Basically the shield/s from the cable are pushed very tightly against the edge of the plug (bottom bit of plug) then when the top bit of the plug (which contains the BNC centre pin) screws down onto the bottom bit the inner barrels of both parts make contact, completing the contact of the shield and the barrel on both parts of the plug. 

As fr as SQ is concerned, there is definitely a difference between this an the usual coax/belden/canare etc. I've left it in this time and have no thoughts about putting anything else back in. It has more detail and 'nuance' to the music at possibly the expense of some low down impact, but just a touch perhaps. Running dual subs its a trade-off I can more than live with.

Hi Bruce,

I have that one you linked to also made with pure copper RCA's for a coax to coax connection. Oli sent me one and I bought it and then I bought another to make up myself for testing purposes (different plugs etc).

It's excellent value for money but offers limited shielding in comparison to the Neotech. As you have eluded to the Neotech has a lot of thought behind the manufacturing process,

Granted I haven't tried that particular coax cable with BNC connectors or indeed the Neotech one with RCA plugs but I suspect the Neotech is ahead on most counts.


The removal of some bass impact is certainly not night and day in fact I would say it has opened up further but this could just be me getting used to it of course. I've probably made a few too many changes in my system recently to properly judge things as critically as is required to draw conclusions. Preamp, DAC, various power cables have all been chopped and changed recently so it's an ongoing process.

I'll certainly report my findings once the system has been settled for a good while (as if that ever happens!).

In regards to your expectations and requirements there, I would certainly say the cable allowed more insight into passages of music in comparison the Belden/canare.

Thanks for reporting back Chris. I've been looking at this cable for a digital coax cable (RCA to RCA) from my Audiolab 6000CDT to my DAC. I will probably be using KLEI plugs. Is this cable stiff BTW ? I was thinking about 25cm long but may have to use 50cm if it's too stiff.

Thanks Chris, it's difficult to explain why one cable sounds better than another, even if you have the correct equipment to analyse them. I've been using my ears for over 40 years and that's good enough for me.
I'm awaiting the arrival of a set of silver plated MS Audio plugs and will give them a go with this cable. I will let you know how I get on.
Congrats on the new forum job BTW. I'm sure Oli will be paying much more on here than on other forums
