The Third^®

The worlds first metal free speaker cable. The Third contains 3.5 million individually insulated LSC fibers which produces cable qualities which cannot be found in any metal-based cable.

Its LSC conductors are totally immune to mechanical or chemical degradation, therefore its sonic properties do not change regardless of how often this relatively FLEXIBLE cable is bent and irrespective of the presence of any corrosive chemical compounds in the air that normally would gradually attack any inadequately protected metal cable. This cable will virtually last forever.

The Third does not age, there is no cross crystal distortion since all of its LSC fibers exhibit a single crystal structure from cable-end to cable-end. There is no skin effect, it is absolutely free from directionality and time spear. It exhibits a very low 0.07 Ohm/m resistance. The result being extremely smooth and exceptionally detailed with very natural sound. Available only in terminated pairs with banana or spade bus connectors.

The SUPER NOVA (PVC Free)

CALL US FOR PRICING

The SUPER NOVA’s four signal conductors are made of highest grade ultra-pure Matched Crystal Oxygen Free Copper strands, which are manufactured by means of a special extrusion process. In the same mechanical step a very pure protective solid silver layer is applied. In sharp contrast with the commonly used drawn copper covered with electroplated silver, this meticulous and advanced production process ensures maximum crystalline density and contact (conductance) without open pathways for corrosive impurities to enter. The same goes for the co-extruded protective solid silver layer, which, unlike electroplated silver, doesn’t contain any chemical residues; Avoiding the presence of impurities and blocking their gradual creeping in over time is the best defence against sound quality degradation. In addition, serving as an additional protection layer and further improving the signal transmission properties, each conductor is embedded in a conductive layer containing our renowned Linear Structured Carbon ^®. The conductors are therefore named “Hybrid”.
In short, The SUPER NOVA’s high tech Super-Copper-Silver Hybrid conductors ensure that the cable keeps its stunningly transparent sound!

The MC Silver Mk III Balanced is Van den Hul's very best interconnect. The Mk III version utilizes VDH's latest technical insights and most sophisticated material and design enhancements. This interconnect is made with the world's highest grade of matched crystal OFC with a very thick mechanically applied layer of the purest silver. Further adding to its stunning dynamics and vivid clarity, the MC Silver IT Mk III Balanced employs extremely low loss Teflon for internal insulation. This purest form of Teflon is normally only used in the most advanced audio grade capacitors. Available with RCA or XLR connectors.

REVIEW

"This flexible cable does a phenomenal job of resolving the last degree of musical detail. Unlike other supposedly high-end cables, the treble is very well extended and totally clean... MC Silver IT Mk III produces totally realistic and palpable tonal rendering... The cable also has a strange ability to make other interconnects sound 'loud' or distorted, presumably by virtue of an extremely clean, neutral balance and high transparency. This lets through both the fine detail that gives each note realism and the energy that enlivens the music overall. Van den Hul's MC Silver IT Mk III is in a class of its own and it delivers the goods."

The MC Silver series are the finest all metal cables Van den Hul has ever made. These no-compromise high purity silver cables are designed to extract the very last musical nuance from the highest performance components.The MC Silver cables all feature 19 extremely high grade matched crystal extruded OFC strands each having a very thick and dense ultra high purity silver coating. These cables are almost pure silver, however a very small amount of high purity copper gives much needed added strength ensuring better use-ability, durability and longer life. Internal insulation includes multiple layers of Teflon.Each cable in the group contains a double shield, one of which is a braid consisting of the same dense silver on copper configuration as the conductors, and the other being a wound very pure silver ribbon providing an almost perfectly closed screen. All production handling is done with extreme care to maintain a very constant characteristic impedance along the entire cable to prevent signal reflections even up to very high frequencies.Finally, each cable receives a special Hulliflex EHD outer jacket. This extra high density version of Hulliflex is the toughest, most rugged and hardwearing cable jacket available. Its ultra dense consistency and smooth surface provide the best possible protection for the precious metal inside. Hulliflex EHD ensures the cable's overall integrity and very long life by protecting the cable from chemical corrosive attack from the outside environment, and from over bending, pinching and mechanical wear and tear. This is very important in an ultra high performance interconnect

MC Silver cables are available in four configurations: MC Silver IT 65 G, MC Silver IT Mk II Balanced, MC Silver IT Mk II Coaxial, and the latest MC Silver IT Mk III Balanced.The MC Silver IT 65 G is a slimline version the MC Silver Mk II Coax interconnect.

INTEGRATION HYBRID

CALL US FOR PRICING
free shipping

Fusion technology is another VDH innovation in which VDH has created a special alloy comprised of copper, silver and zinc. The alloy is created by placing extremely pure copper, zinc and silver in a vacuum oven where a strong electrical field forces the atoms in all three metals to the center of the conductor. Ultra high heating brings about a complete fusion of the copper, zinc and silver. Then ultra fast cooling causes the final alloy to settle into a totally amorphous state. This complex technical processing results in an amorphous structure that is free from intercrystalline boundaries.Four separately isolated conductors are then coated with LSC, a triple screen and Hulliflex jacket. The Integration delivers very detailed, ultra high resolution and excellent space. Its low capacitance makes it well suited for long runs, and its internal star quad configuration and triple shield render it highly immune to noise. The Integration Hybrid is mechanically very robust making it much less susceptible to breakage. Available with RCA or XLR connectors.

REVIEW

"The sound is exceptionally clear and open, especially in the treble. In fact, it's almost unsettling at first, as the lack of grain and spit makes it seem a little understated, lacking brilliance compared with most cables. Then some sound comes along that's naturally rich in high harmonics and you realize that what's missing is not treble, but distortion. Further down the spectrum the sound is similarly clear, extending well into the bass with a good balance between tune and rhythm. Detail and imaging are first-rate, too."
