Angeboten wird „The Mainsstream Hybrid 3.0m“ von Van den Hul als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Netzkabel“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2052956850 endet am 14.07.2026 um 20:56 Uhr.
Compared with the obvious alternative at this level — another quality aftermarket power cord in the mid-€200s — this sits a touch above the center of the used market, but not by much. With a median of €255 and a 75th percentile of €278, an ask of €295 is slightly ambitious rather than outrageous; it’s about a fair market-plus price for a clean example, not a bargain.
That still makes sense if you want a well-regarded cable that’s prized for solid build, good shielding, and the sort of low-noise, grown-up presentation Van den Hul accessories are known for. In good condition, the upside is mainly confidence: a tidy, established piece from a respected brand that should slot easily into a serious system. At this price, I’d just want confirmation of length, plugs, and that there’s no damage to the connectors or jacket.
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.
