Van den Hul Carbon Speaker Cables

[Gizza]

Didn't Martin Collins review the cables in Mark one form? If he did, you should find a link to the review on the VdH website. I use the Revelation cables which are a mix of carbon and silver plated copper, which

are very good indeed.

I know he makes cartridges, but other than that vdh is just a bloody foo merchant. This for example: http://www.vandenhul.com/products/accessories/health-ring

Just casts doubt on the whole product range IMO.

shurely that's just some yellow elastic rope and a bit of insulating tape?

l have had experience of the VDH The Second interconnect (Carbon Cable l know it is not The Third loudspeaker cable ) and concur with a n earlier poster that it was incredibly transparent with excellent tonal colours,wide open mid but the bass was very soft and lagged behind everything else, just my tuppence worth.

There was a thread some time ago when someone made a set of interconnects from spark plug leads and did a comparison.No idea what to search for though or if it still exists.

I did something similar, and the downloadable blind test result was interesting to say the least:

Standard bootlace free interconnect, with the following spliced into the hot line - foil sweet wrapper, brass screw, length of 60/40 solder, yale key, length of steel wire wrap. It was compared with three other normal cables including a length of Chord Silver Siren.

Downloadable where?

Downloadable where?

It was about 4 years ago but I can find the link if you're interested.

I've still got the music files but I don't think we can post 'needle drops'?

Then again it'll only start a row so perhaps best not.

If anyone wants to listen, send me a PM.

So what conclusions did you reach?

That the mirror falls down with only one screw and couldn't use the back door anymore?
