van den Hul Royal Jade   This may look like just another spaced-pair cable, but that's hardly the case. In fact vdH cables are among the most distinctive on the market technologically, due to their thoughtful designer, Mr van den Hul himself. Like SonicLink's Graham Nalty, Mr v has his own views on what materials are suitable for cable and why, and his conclusion is that metal is not ideal. He has pioneered the use of carbon fibre in cables, overcoming its significant drawback of high resistance either by brute force (enormous cross-section, at rather enormous expense) in his top cables, or by cunning in 'hybrid' cables such as this, where a layer of Linear Structured Carbon is laid over conventional silver-plated copper in order to at least partially alleviate copper's supposed ills. The insulation is also a van den Hul proprietary formulation, 'Hulliflex', about which I can't tell you much more than that it doesn't contain halogen and is 'greener' than PVC. It also has considerably better electrical properties than PVC, and vdH makes great claims for its chemical stability. Sound quality Most cable designers will agree that the three most important factors in determining cable sound are geometry, conductor material and insulator material: what they won't agree on is their order of importance. I'm going to stick my neck out and plump for geometry first, not least because with all the unique materials in this cable, it seems to me to have the main characteristics of spaced pairs generally. Chief among those is the all too common cable dryness that affects most of the spectrum but is generally most obvious on voices and subtle, high-frequency sounds. Bass has a distinct tendency towards woolliness, too, making it rather hard to follow, and detail in most kinds of music is seldom better than fair, with the sound somewhat squashed together spatially. Tonality is at least pretty neutral, and dynamics are on the whole unconstrained - although the dryness can add some artificial 'loudness' in very dense music. Conclusion A lot of innovation has gone into this cable and I feel rotten about disliking it - but try van den Hul's interconnects, which seem to be far more successful!
