Van Den Hul MC1 Phono Cartridge (MC) Van Den Hul MCF1 cartridge just serviced by Van Den Hul including new diamond and has done zero hours, repeat zero hours of playtime. Koetsu sounding cartridge with a healthy .65MV output. Condition: Like New Payment Method: paypal, eft, cash Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By Famo 0 Comments AUD $1,350 Date: July 19, 20241 yr
This is an ambitious ask: A$1,350 is well above the recent comparable used median of A$282 and even clears the A$416 75th percentile by a wide margin. At that level, it’s not a casual-buy price; it’s firmly in “only if you specifically want this cartridge” territory.
That said, Van den Hul cartridges are respected for refinement, tracking poise, and extracting a lot of low-level detail without sounding brittle when properly matched. If the stylus is genuinely like-new and the seller can document low hours, that’s the key upside here. Just make sure the suspension, cantilever, and generator are all healthy, because with MC carts the condition matters as much as the brand name.
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.
