This is the Van den Hul The Integration Hybrid balanced audio interconnect, an early-generation model from Van den Hul’s Fusion series.Specifications shown: 1.2m XLR balanced cable with halogen-free outer jacket, presented in its original vintage European orange cardboard box.
New, the Van den Hul Integration Hybrid sits in the brand’s mid-range interconnect line, so A$360 is a sensible used price rather than a standout bargain. It is almost exactly the A$359 median from three recent comparable listings, comfortably within the A$312–A$379 market band; call it fair, assuming the pair is complete and functional.
The appeal is a well-engineered, versatile cable: four Fusion Technology conductors in a star-quad layout, triple shielding, low capacitance, and compatibility with both RCA and XLR applications. It is particularly useful where cable runs are long or electrical noise is troublesome, while the robust Hulliflex jacket should tolerate normal handling well. With condition listed only as unknown, confirm connector type, length, pair completeness, and check for intermittent plugs or jacket damage before buying; at A$360, those details determine whether it is merely fair or genuinely worthwhile.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
