Angeboten wird „van den Hul MC One Special“ von Van den Hul als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Tonabnehmer MC“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4186664878 endet am 11.10.2026 um 06:33 Uhr.
A $1,500-class cartridge in the used market, this one is priced above your recent EUR comparables and reads ambitious rather than fair. Against your anchor data, €1,701 is well over the €1,504 75th percentile and meaningfully above the €1,292 median, so it needs either standout condition, fresh stylus history, or strong accessories to justify itself.
That said, this is a respected moving-coil design with a reputation for fine detail, density, and a very polished, musical presentation, so the right system can get a lot out of it. If the box, original paperwork, and usage history are clean, it may still appeal to someone specifically chasing this voicing, but at this price I’d want proof of low wear and no servicing unknowns before calling it an easy buy.
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.
