I've been selling audio interconnect aka RCA cables from most brand names since I started this business. I've never brought in anything above the retail price of RM1000 due to the spending power at my old shop (Wisma Satok). Late last year, I've been bringing in more higher end RCA interconnects especially from Van Den Hul. Tried The Wave, The Bay, The Name and D102 MKIII which are all very good quality interconnects. I personally like Van Den Hul product from the feel and touch. Most importantly the printed "Made in EU" words on the rubbery texture on most of their cables.
Although the price is slightly higher when compared to other brands I have in my shop, I highly recommend their product. The First Ultimate MKII interconnects from VDH is made of metal free material ..."carbon". So technically, it should last a life time since there's no metal for degrading over times. Out from the box, I plug hook it up to my Marantz KI series (Int Amp + SACD) together with Proac Studio140. It brings MUSIC to life !! The sound stage is awesome and very noticable that even a non-stereophile can notice it straight away.
Musical instruments seem to be closing into my ears. I can only describe The First Ultimate as being "MUSICAL" and great sound stage. Comparing to D102MKIII, it seems to lose a lot on the "warm"-nest. But if you are a 100% pure vocalist fan, you might not opt for it. Overall performance, it really bring your system to life. For a retail price of RM1,699 for the 1.5Meter pair, I think it is worth every penny provided your setup is worth more than 10K. For entry level system, I would recommend you getting either The Name or D102MKIII.
