Best Buy Award: van den Hul CS – 122 HYBRID

The magazine’s comments:

With no less than three gongs in this year’s Awards van den Hul is on a roll, the CS – 122 HYBRID making an appearance for the second year running. Using an unusual mix of silver-coated oxygen-free copper and carbon conductors, the CS – 122 HYBRID pays off when it comes to detail, delicacy and dynamics. Vocals and instruments sound supremely natural, treble is open and intricate, while bass sounds both powerful and well controlled. All in all this is a tremendously well judged cable that really pays dividends in high-end rigs.

This twin lead loudspeaker cable is the twin version of the CS – 12 HF. Main aim is to provide a high quality flat twin lead cable at a low price. The 2 conductors are made of 147 strands of 0.16 mm. diameter high purity Matched Crystal OFC with a very dense pure silver coating.

• Each conductor exhibits a cross-section area of 2.96 mm², equalling AWG 12.5.
• Covering the two conductors you find an extra Linear Structured Carbon ® saturated layer to improve the sonic performance and to transform the radiated magnetic field into an audio-signal again.
• The resistance per lead is: 0.58 Ohm/100 meter.
• The capacitance between the 2 leads is: 32 pF/meter.
• The cable jacket is made of our HULLIFLEX ® 3, a very flexible and mechanically superb insulation material.
• The insulation of the plus and minus leads is different in shape with printing in the flat middle section. Both properties are easy polarity finders. Type printing on every 25 cm. (10″) makes cutting of specified lengths very easy.
• This cable is available in a very attractive matt cream color.

More information and recommendations

Running-in period: in our experience, speaker cables also need a certain running-in period in order to achieve optimal quality. This sounds very questionable at first, but make your own judgment on this. We would be happy to receive your feedback.

Commissioning: If you are using the cable for the first time, it is best to first clean all contact points with a suitable cleaning agent (e.g. alcohol from the pharmacy).

Laying the cables: If it is possible for you, lay the cables in a mirror image and at a distance from the mains cables, power supply units and power strips.

Contact optimisation: In order to create the best possible contact, we recommend van den Hul's contact agent THE SOLUTION. Available here in the shop.

Running direction: For the perfectionists among you, B+T hifi has marked the side of the speaker cable that is connected to the amplifier.
