Neotech cables

NES-3002 is very similar to Harmonic Tech Pro 9 and Pro 11, with the construction being almost exactly the same except for the conductor size. NEI-3001 has a nice rich tonality and solidity, with good full bass, but can tend toward sounding a touch thick, although a preferred option to some high resolution cables I have heard that sacrifice tonal density for detail and end up sounding thin.

I find the comment about a dealer liking NES-3002 better than NES-3001 interesting since the construction is totally different. The 3002 is a twisted pair while the 3001 is woven around a core, although both use individually insulated solid core OCC conductors. I believe the individual wires in the NES-3002 are insulated with a foamed polypropylene (at least the HT wires I have taken apart use foamed PP insulation), which I tend to prefer over Teflon (which is used in the NES-3001).

The NES-3002 also use solid core conductors, with each conductor individually insulated. The Sonic Craft website has links to construction diagrams of both cables. I am using a double run (in bi-wire) of the HT Pro-11+ which is the exact construction of the NES-3002 except the individual conductors are each a smaller gauge for an aggregate of 11 awg.

I just sold a bunch of NEI-3001 bulk cable but kept one balanced pair with Furutech FP 601/602 connectors, that I like to use occasionally for comparison purposes.

All their cables are very well constructed and use OCC copper or high quality silver conductors. That they offer the cable in bulk is an added bonus.
