Van Den Hul The First Ultimate MKII Stereo RCA Analogue Interconnect Cable

The First Ultimate MK2 Stereo RCA Analogue Interconnect Cable, by Van Den Hul

The FIRST Ultimate is a threefold heavier shielded version of the highly praised classic The FIRST (world’s first METAL FREE interlink) and has been designed for highest quality (unbalanced / asymmetric) line level audio and SPDIF digital audio connections.

With The FIRST Ultimate the sonic results are so different and also so much better than found with any metal product we know of, that we think this is a complete breakthrough in cable technology. Besides the many highly innovative technical aspects of this product, its sonic aspects are even more attractive, especially the lack of dynamic compression on higher signal levels, the extended low level information and the total lack of any harshness make this cable so different from any other product known so far.

And for critical listeners with high demands on spatial reproduction, this is your final choice; no other product so far produced, renders so much spatial information as The FIRST Ultimate.

The basic conductor material is Linear Structured Carbon, an LSC centre conductor with 12,000 individually insulated 7 micron strands with a total diameter of 1 mm. The individual strand insulation prevents electrons to cross from fibre-to-fibre. The direct result is that electrons exclusively move trough the 7 micron strands in one dimension. Side movements are virtually impossible. This prevents a lot of audio problems.

The centre core insulation is made of polyethylene foam to achieve a low capacitance between the inner and outer group with minimal dielectric absorption. The jacket is made of light yellow coloured HULLIFLEX 4 with black type printing, providing a superb mechanical protection and exhibits a very high chemical stability.

The result of all this innovative work is a product without any defects. Thus far in any combination of equipment, the improvements were very clearly detectable, and this not just for experienced listeners.
