Van den Hul Shipping The Wave

World leader's newest cable delivers best in class sound and value

By Gary Reber

Bluebird Music has announce immediate availability of the newest interconnect from Van den Hul, The Wave.

The Wave is not just any 'coax cable'. It is an exceptionally fine cable utilizing VDH's 25 years of experience in design and materials. The Wave is a coaxial triple shielded interconnect designed to outperform its price class with superior qualities.

The Wave starts with a generous 0.9 mm central conductor made of thick silver coated, high purity, matched crystal, oxygen free copper. It then adds a robust triple screen, the outer and inner layers of which are made of the same high quality material used in the central conductor.

Other cables often overlook the fact that a coaxial cable shield needs to carry the return signal and keep noise out. The Wave's triple shield design separates these functions, yielding a substantial gain in performance.

This unique design achieves first-rate interference suppression and highly linear conductivity. The Wave delivers impeccable transmission quality, large natural bandwidth and excellent noise rejection resulting in outstanding transparency, full bodied and clearly defined sound and a lively and precise rhythm.
The Wave is a highly accurate 75 ohm cable making it perfectly suited for a wide variation of audio as well as 75 ohm video applications. VDH's Hulliflex jacket provides maximum ruggedness and optimal lifespan protection. All materials in the Wave are environmentally friendly and contain no halogens.
Retail price is $199 for a .8 meter (31 inch) cable.

"Treble is cleanly extended and once again there is a lovely natural quality to the way the delicate high-frequency sounds decay into ambience. Another highly capable and compatible interconnect."
- Hi-Fi Choice Best Buy Winner, November 2008.

"it's a good all-rounder (for analog, digital and video alike), with a full bass, a very tidy sense of rhythm, clean and extended treble and great imaging."
- Hi-Fi Choice, Gold Award Best Interconnect Under £100, 2008.
