Without the exact model name beyond “Van den Hul 1.5m interconnect,” the A$380 asking price is hard to benchmark against the typical used market, so treat this as a caution before committing. The closest confirmed match is The First Ultimate MKII 1.5m, which sold used for A$550 with original packaging; if your cable is that model, A$380 would be a strong bargain. If it’s a lower-tier or older line, the price may be fair or even ambitious.
Van den Hul interconnects are well-regarded for their solid-core conductors, low capacitance, and clean, uncolored transmission that preserves detail without hype. The upside here is timing: if this is a recent-generation model like The First Ultimate MKII or The Tide Hybrid, you’re getting audiophile performance at an entry-level price point. Verify the exact model, check for original packaging or accessories, and confirm the RCA type; if it’s the MKII and condition is clean, A$380 is a genuine buying opportunity.
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.
