Neotech – Maximizes Your Setup

Want to get the most out of your setup? Check. Top quality? Check. “Does that make a difference?” The answer is yes. Clearly audible, just listen for yourself. A genuinely solid cable often brings out a layer of details and instrument separation. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Neotech is characterized by its clear reproduction that lets the music speak in all different price ranges. As the price increases, the cable shows more refinement.

Therefore, Taste For Audio now offers a variety of interlinks and speaker cables from the renowned Japanese Neotech. Since the 1990s, Neotech has been a highly respected name in the audio world. We are proud to now offer these in our range.
These are heavy, good-looking, and stiff cables with shiny connectors. When you hold one, you immediately feel that this is a quality product.

The Grand Interconnect by Neotech

Neotech

Neotech produces a full line of ultra-high performance speaker, interconnect, digital, USB, power, and video cables. Distinctive are the unique up-occ copper and high-quality insulation and damping techniques.

Taste for Audio Range

• The Grand interconnect is Neotech’s top line. It features a quad construction of 2 individually insulated copper strips and two strands of separately insulated braided copper wires. Encased in Teflon and PVC and shielded.
• The Nei 3003 interconnect uses individually insulated solid-core conductors and air tubes around them for damping micro-resonances.

Technology

Neotech cables are designed around the up-occ treatment method for both copper and silver. This method was developed by Professor Ohno from the Chiba Institute in Japan. It creates very pure copper (99.99998%) and has practically no crystal boundaries.
• Unique 99.9998% pure single-crystal copper
• Low electrical resistance and fast transmission
• Copper practically without crystal boundaries. This also prevents future corrosion of the copper.
• Connectors developed by Neotech (also up-occ copper),
• Damping to prevent/reduce mechanical resonance inside the cable.
What do crystal boundaries mean?
Normally, very pure copper has about 5000 crystal boundaries per meter length.
The signal must cross the boundaries between these ‘grains’ 5000 times to travel through one meter of cable.
These grain boundaries cause the same annoying distortion as current jumping from strand to strand.
The illustration below clearly shows what is meant by ‘grains’.

Reviews

“We have tested and listened to what seems like every wire on the planet that we thought had the potential to improve the performance of streaming-based hi-fi systems.
From this process, one conductor technology emerged that stood head and shoulders above the rest. In listening tests, UP-OCC Pure Silver and UP-OCC Pure Copper consistently provided noticeable improvements in sound quality, in every application we tried it with.”

TASTE FOR AUDIO TIP

When to Invest in Cables?
Once the total audio set reaches a certain quality, it certainly pays to use solid cables that match the level of the set.
A good guideline is a pricing of 10-20% of the used equipment. So, for an amplifier of 500 euros, it’s worth investing 100 euros in a good interlink cable.
