looking for a quality BNC female to RCA male adaptor


I have a BNC to BNC coax.  I want to use it with a piece that only accepts RCA termination.  Does anyone out there know of a "high quality" BNC female to RCA male adaptor.  There seems to be a lot of cheap stuff out there that is nickel plated etc.  Does anyone know of a higher quality adaptor?  thanks, Jim

The Purist Audio adapters all seem to be $150 plus each, which is kind of expensive just for an "adapter".  I have found that the Black Cat BNC-to-RCA adapters are excellent and are only $30/pair:

They have the best resolution compared to every adapter I have tested.  The gold-plated adapters that come with the Nordost cables (and that you can get cheap on ebay) are nice and they warm up the sound some to give the cable a little more engaging sound, but they mask resolution in the end.  The Black Cat adapters do not mask resolution, but it may be too revealing on a cable that could be a little bit sterile.

The Canare adapters aren't good at all in my opinion.  They sound extremely warm and the high frequencies are soft and a mess (great if you like that sonic signature -- like listening to a warm Parasound amp).
