Van den Hul, The First Ultimate any good?


Does anybody own these interconnects and can tell me a little bit how they perform in his system? A Dutch friend of mine recommended them, they seem to be quite famous in Europe and I am curious because of the different material they use (carbon)

The First is a wonderful interconnect with smooth detail throughout the frequency range and a natural sound lacking any edge. While there may well be more superficially exciting cables these are the ones to which I always return . I use The Second between pre and power amps to avoid possible hum and RF.

Martin Colloms reviewed them in Hi Fi News in 1993 and returned to the them in a comparative review in Hi Fi Critic in 2005 . The First's only competitors cost four times as much !
