I’ve been following this thread with interest as I’ve recently changed my streaming cables, going from a variety of Chord cables, Signature, Epic and Clearway to Belden CatSnake 6a Floating Ethernet cables.
Looking at the Neotech, they are an ugly looking cable. May be the best cable in the world, but still got to pass the Mrs DG test. Plus I needed longer cables for some of my runs.
As said what works for some doesn’t mean it works for all.
Maybe it needs much more time, but i can’t honestly give it a year or two to hopefully come good, as in 600 to 1000 hours.
I would have thought that this cable would suit my system much more than a naim system, as the naim is certainly more forward sounding, and this cable certainly brings that as it is right now, and i would think it would push that far to much in a naim system. But then i don’t know, i can only guess from my experience with my naim systems.
But i feel i have a lovely balanced sound using what i did, and this just upsets it all, and doesn’t really add anything nice to it. It’s just got over aggressive and too shouty for me, others might love it.
Hopefully the next two cables will bring me more what i am looking for, and hopefully push my diamond into 2nd or 3rd place
No,.unfortunately not yet, I plan to do it in the fall.
I have asked the Swedish distributor of Neotech to have a NEET copper ready,.which is already “burn-in” to send up to me.
Which he has promised to do,.it will be really interesting considering the different reviews in this thread.
As said in many posts on this thread.
I want a better cable to go from my melco to PhoenixNet. As i use the standard cable that came with the PhoenixNet, it’s actually quite good, but i am losing a bit off detail with it when i compare the same track streamed rather than stored.
Maybe if i find a cable that beats my audioquest diamond, then i will use that on the melco and the new cable on the final leg.
I was hoping that the neotech would work well from the melco, but unfortunately it didn’t. Shame as i was hoping for it work well.
But as said for me and my system it’s a no.
Yes that really is a shame since it is a not to expensive cable.
It’s fascinating the results you get with the Neotech. It’s as if it’s a cable that works wonders in the north of Sweden but makes a fool of it self in Great Britain. I really don’t understand how you and @geko can get these results.
Geko even finds it worse than BJC and Catsnake. In my system that’s a joke (compared to catsnake). It also beats the Shunyata Omega in a few real hi end systems here in Sweden which also sounds ridiculous given it is in @Geko system worse than the cables above and in your system worse than the cable that came with the PN. it’s just… weird.
