Neptune Phono Cables
Purist Audio Design's Diamond Revision Neptune Cable line is the pinnacle of our Fluid shielded cables! Every cable in the Neptune line utilizes our improved proprietary Fluid dampening. Our Fluid dampening has long been a favorite of audiophiles for years delivering a warm sound with exquisite mid-range. The interconnects cables are crafted around 22 AWG single crystal copper conductors. Neptune cables deliver a larger soundstage over the Venustas cables with stunning detail in the mid-range! The cables can deliver such impressive musicality, they keep the listener immersed in the music! hey are available in standard phono interconnects (RCA to RCA & XLR to XLR) and tone-arm cables (Din to RCA & Din to XLR). If your system demands a custom configuration, please contact us. We're able to custom-build to fit your needs!
As a part of Purist Audio Design's Diamond Revision, we redesigned and greatly improved the RCA connectors using beryllium copper and increasing the thickness of the gold plating. We also greatly improved the XLR connectors by using beryllium copper with gold plating on the pins.
All Neptune cables come packaged in a handsome soft case.

What They're Saying
This refers to a previous edition."Big, spacious, warmer than leaner... though not in a way that is overly warm or ripe... the Neptune line is a whole lot of fun. Which is what we are hearing when we play music--not only from ourselves, but from many others passing through. You get the resolution and details, but not in an analytical, in your face presentation. Nothing is pushed at you, suggesting that the cables are quite even in terms of frequencies--that is, they are not hyped or rolled-off. There is neither a euphonic coloration or any sense of some anomaly to push this or that on our music. Balanced and musical. Sweet. Warm and musical."
This refers to a previous edition."Ex-NASA engineer Jim Aud and his team have advanced their thinking, culminating in a reference fluid-shielded cable--the Neptune. It is the newest addition to Purist Audio Design's Diamond Revision series, developed partly in response to customer feedback to make the cables more flexible and user-friendly, while also increasing their performance. The Neptune comes in a four-cable set with positive and negative signals separated. The fluid shields the 7AWG bundle of fine single-crystal-copper strands from RF, EMI, and vibration. The shielding helped produce a huge soundstage with explosive dynamics in a system with Atma-Sphere electronics and Classic Audio loudspeakers."

This refers to a previous edition."Showing with Ralph Karsten’s Atma-Sphere Novacron amps ($19,200/pr.), and the Purist Audio Design Neptune series of cables, there is no denying the synergy. I sat utterly rapt in Stevie Ray Vaughn’s guitar work, and simply have to marvel at the ability John’s speakers have to delve into and release music in one of the most dynamically and harmonically correct presentations you’ll hear."
