Van Den Hul D-102 3 2,500mm Interconnect Cables (XLR) 2.5m pair of Van Den Hul - D-102 MKIII XLR Audio Interconnect Cable Pick or Postage at agreed Cost Boxed as new., Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT, Cash on Pick up Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By **ZEP** 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $275 Date: November 15, 20241 yr
A$275 is ambitious for a 0.5 m used pair unless this is pristine, boxed, and from a trusted original owner; the broader used market for D-102 III/3T hybrids tends to land materially lower, with new retail around A$160-A$260 equivalent depending on length and termination, so this asking price sits close to fresh-cable money rather than a typical used discount. For a short 500 mm interconnect, I’d want the listing to justify itself with unusually clean condition and proper connectors.
That said, this is a respected Van den Hul design: low-noise, well-shielded, and known for a smooth, detailed presentation without sounding etched. If you specifically want a compact, high-quality interconnect for a tight rack setup, a like-new example can still make sense, especially if it includes the original packaging and shows little use. At this price, though, I’d only move quickly if the seller can confirm authenticity and the cable has been carefully stored.

Van den Hul, a Dutch high-end audio brand, traces its origins to 1980 when Aalt Jouke (A.J.) van den Hul, an engineer and physics professor at Delft University of Technology, founded the company in the Netherlands. Driven by a passion for flawless natural sound reproduction, he initially patented innovative stylus tips for phono cartridges before expanding into broader hi-fi solutions. From modest beginnings, the firm quickly gained traction through pioneering designs like the Frog, Grasshopper, and Colibri moving coil cartridges.
The brand specializes in premium moving coil phono cartridges and a wide array of audio cables, including groundbreaking technologies such as Linear Structured Carbon and hybrid metal conductors. While it has designed electronic equipment, Van den Hul's core focus remains on optimizing phono transfer and signal transmission integrity, with products serving both home hi-fi systems and professional studios. Interconnects like The Name exemplify their commitment to accessible high performance without compromising quality.
Today, Van den Hul holds a respected position in the high-end market, exported to over 70 countries and favored by audiophiles seeking precision and durability. Its physicist-led innovations have cemented a niche boutique reputation among discerning buyers who prioritize signal purity over mass-market appeal, blending heritage craftsmanship with enduring sonic excellence.
