Van den Hul 3T The Cliff Hybrid RCA to RCA Cable
The 3T The Cliff Hybrid is designed to create a quad (4 conductors) centre construction without any screen. This is to avoid the standard signal conductor to screen capacitance.
Soundwise, this quad centre construction without screen worked out very well. Worldwide there are hardly any such flexible audio interconnects without a screen available. Each of the 4 conductors is made of a single 1 x 400 micron 3T conductor combined with 11 x 150 micron 3T conductors.
At the connections of the 3T The Cliff Hybrid, two of the four internal conductors are used as a signal plus and the other two as a signal return. Soundwise, the 3T The Cliff Hybrid is a delight in both space and resolution. The sound quality reproduction is extremely clean. Instruments playing in complex musical performances can very easily be followed even at high sound levels.
Van den Hul 3T True Transmission Technology
Van den Hul are world leaders in cable design and use advanced material design and cutting edge technologies to deliver life-like sound. With their 3T range of cables, they use a proprietary amorphous alloy of metals and non-metals that together make a conductor with an almost ideal set of properties for Hi-Fi cables, found in no other brand; no oxidation or metal fatigue, extended strain relief, stable at extremely high as well as low temperatures, no electroplating chemicals involved, very flexible and an extremely long life-span.
3T Cables have a number of benefits which are unique due to the materials and construction design.
- No material fatigue problems to avoid dramatic sound-quality reductions over time.
- Never any surface or internal oxidation to avoid long-term sonic harshness.
- A very stable amorphous structure which is essential for high-quality live sound including stable high resolution on very low signal levels.
- Very flexible fibres which means no mechanical stress in the conductors in any situation.
- No chemical ageing which neatly avoids any decline in the sound quality over time.
- No mechanical ageing which means there will never be any deterioration of the transmission quality.
- Very low number of internal boundaries to avoid Cross Crystal Distortion (C.C.D.).
- The innovative 3T conductors produce the highest signal resolution possible.
Our Take On The Van den Hul 3T The Cliff Hybrid
The Van den Hul 3T The Cliff Hybrid RCA to RCA cable represents something of a breakthrough in high-fidelity interconnect technology. Featuring a unique quad (4 conductor) centre construction without any screen, it eliminates the capacitance typically caused by conductor-to-screen interactions, ensuring pure signal transmission. Each conductor is crafted using a combination of Van den Hul's proprietary 3T (True Transmission Technology) materials, offering unparalleled flexibility and durability. With two conductors dedicated to the signal and two for return, this design provides an impressively clean and spacious sound reproduction. The amorphous alloy used in the 3T conductors ensures that the cable remains free from oxidation, metal fatigue, and mechanical stress, maintaining a stable and life-like sound over time. Its superior materials and design guarantee high-resolution sound, allowing instruments to shine even in complex musical arrangements, making it a premium choice for audiophiles seeking top-tier performance.
