Offered is „the Orchid 2x1m XLR“ by Van den Hul as second-hand device from the category „XLR-Cable (Analog)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5621769142 ends on 04.11.2026 at 06:45 o'clock.
Are you paying for a nicely kept cable at a sensible number, or is this seller asking above what the market will bear? At €380, this sits above the recent €344 75th percentile and well over the €306 median, so it reads ambitious rather than fair for the current used market.
That said, this is a respected interconnect for a reason: Van den Hul’s Orchid is known for a refined, low-noise presentation with good detail and a smooth, easy-to-live-with balance. If the condition is genuinely good, the value is in getting a well-regarded cable that’s still sought after; just make sure the termination, length, and originality match what you need, because at €380 you want the exact spec and cosmetic state to be right.
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.
