Van den Hul The Valley Interconnect Cable Sweepstakes
Register to win a pair of Van den Hul The Valley Interconnect Cables (MSRP $395) we are giving away.
These cables are distributed in North America by Bluebird Music and according to Van den Hul, The Valley interconnect cables are a twisted pair balanced cable with two 21 strand conductors and a double braided shield.
Van den Hul's new True Transmission Technology cables, known as 3T for short, "present an entirely new paradigm to the cable world offering breakthrough performance at very reasonable prices. The 3T wires are comprised of a fusion of five metals and one non-metal resulting in an amorphous alloy free from crystal boundaries. In fact, because the 3T wire is completely crystal free it is the purest wire possible. 3T wire completely eliminates signal bounce, or reflections, within the wire."

Hello Jon
Sign me up :-)
Thanks Petrer
There is no one more deserving than me! Seriously, they would sound great in my system....
Thanks,
Jim
Great company and fine example of Dutch ingenuity
I would love to win a pair.
I'd love a new pair of cables.
Yes, please!!
I love cables.
I like yellow.
And my current interconnects were designed by Bruce Brissom when he worked for Monster Cable. They would love to be put out to pasture.
Thank you,
Alan Tomlinson
Those connectors look like RCAs. How can you have a balanced cable with only one conductor and a shield? The low side would have to go to ground with or without being tied to the shield. Please enlighten me.
I have a set of Morrow MA1's that's arriving today, but I'd love another set of RCAs to experiment with!
I love Van den Hul so much I named my cat Van.
Thanks!

It would be great to try out Van den Hul interconnects. I currently use Analysis Plus and have been wanting look at new cable.
Yes Please
Just what I need, a new set of interconects.
please + thank you.
…but also will sound terrific!
I'd love to win a pair of Van den Hul The Valley Interconnect Cables.
Thanks!
I have fond memories of a pair of CS-122 speaker cables. Would love to give these a try.

Professional gears must do right their work,don't look sharp.Time and money spent to make it look good,time and money stealed to make it working better.My costumers must be satisfied of my professional working,not amazed of your yellow titti cables...
They look GREAT! Would love to have them.
Oh where, oh where is a new pair...of cables.
Preaching to the choir here, but over and over have found how significant cabling is; particularly in context with associated components.
Thanks, a nice promo
Great idea, thanks!
the $395 price caught my attention.....seems very reasonable.
Great idea, thanks!
I use Van den Hul speaker wires and love them.
These would go perfect in my system. :-)
Good, I'm updating my headphone rig and need a good cable for that so I'd love to have this. :)
Them's some fancy lookin' cables!
Nice Cables!
Can't have enough cables.
I'd be happy to give them a try in my system.
Do very high-end cables really make difference in sound so it is easily noticable? Well, I guess I will find out with these.
Oh yeah .... I've got just the place for them !
Looking for a nice upgrade from my Audioquest G-snakes. I've hard nothing but amazing things about these connects and would love to try them out!
I love sweetstakes.
Yes Sir!
Yellow cables improve audiophilia by 10%. Love to have 'em!
Hella good; sign me up!
Thanks for making this contest available.
I could put these to good use!
Please count me in.

I like my DH Labs Silver Sonic cables, but I'll give these a try!
in my system
I could use a good pair of interconnects, would be interesting to compare them to my cheapo ones.
Is it a good thing that they're halogen-free? Just asking. I'd be delighted to see if they couldn't outperform my (not-very-expensive and not-very-new) Audioquests.
And, btw, since when did people start labeling goods as "made in EU" rather than made in, say, Switzerland or Portugal?
I would love a pair of good and free ICs.
I'm in the market for new cables so perfect timing for this contest.
Owning these cables would be swell.
Ja (= Yes in Swedish),
would love new interconnects.
Waiting on cables
Put my name in the hat. VDH are my favorite cables anyway!
Upgrading my system right now, this would really complete the package!
These cables would help me go to the next level.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Greg
real interconnects. just using crap ones on my budget system.
please?
me want
I will never win the cables anywhy!!!
I use them between my phono pre and my main preamp. Wouldn't mind upgrading them :)
Thanks for the great offer Stereophile, I'd love to win!
pretty please
more interconnects :-)
Sign me up, please.
Desperately in need of some new quality interconnects!!! Would LOVE to hear the VDHs!!!
Nice looking cables! I'm not sure how Linn would feel about me replacing my Silvers with them, but I'd give them a try.
Hope I can hear how they sound as well!
Sign me up.
Thanks
Thanks for the new interconnects!
Count me in.
*covets*
I'd like a shot at this!
Totally...
They will fit nicely into my brand new system !
Great, I'd love a pair.
Looks like a really good set of cables - sign me up!
yes please!
I hope they are better than my current Van Den Hul cables.
I've got plans to test a few cables, and would like to add these to the list.
Own the jubilee, nice cables
I think that the yellow will clash with some of my other cable colors, but I think I can find a way to make it work.
Sign me UP!!
Would love to have a pair of Van den Huls. Thank you.
I would love to have these Van den Hul Interconnect cables connecting my SACD/DVD-Audio player to my Tube amplifier!
I would love to get these. I have a pair of cables running from my preamp to amp that could use updating. They have been there almost 25 years.
Oh yeah!
I have a lot of respect for Mr. Van den Hul.
Please put my email in the contest.
Thanks!
Please enter me into this contest.
Just what my system could use!
I would love to see if this cable improves upon the enjoyment I am getting from my system currently.
Would be my first pair of high end cables. Can't afford them otherwise. A DAC is higher on my list anyway.
would be awesome to win
Love playing with cables and hearing the difference they make..would be fun to try these as well!
Better odds than PowerBall, sign me up!
These cables would take my system to another level.
Ok. Yes please.
Great sweepstake, thanks Van den Hul !
Great looking, can't wait to hear them!
I've got just the spot for these.
Trying build my first system I'm sure I can fit this somewhere.
Nice cables, I'd love to win them.
I can make use of them
Thanks for offering up the cables
Nice way to start building the whole new system.
Kismet.......
I have been happily running a pair of the Van den Hul D102 MK 3 Hybrids for more than 10 years and coincidently I have been looking around for an upgrade.
When I got them delivered to the office I was the cause of much merriment and good natured ribbing from co-workers and even one of our couriers.
Even years later the courier would mention, with much good natured ribbing, my (in his eyes) foolishness at paying so much for the Van den Huls.....even if they were gold.
The idea that I would pay circa $150 AUD for a couple of bits of wire was just too much for them - they thought I was mad. Of course they may well have been right, just not for the reasons they thought.
These days a figure like that is the height of protestant rectitude!
......would prefer XLR terminations though
The design sounds interesting, now let me have em!
!
Hope I win!
I can always use another pair of cables...
- "Cable Junkie"
After spending so mutch on long grain coppers and single crystal ono cast coppers and silvers it would make an interesting comparison to a conductor without boundaries.
Oh, you meant this post. (Whew!)
I found a little interview on an Australian website with Siltech/Crystal Cable and they proclaimed that their next technolgy for conductors will be amorphous metal because it surpasses anything else. I guess they are only coppying another Dutch cable company.
May fate grant me the luck to win these cables.
Woo! This would be fantastic, I can only afford to use basic cabes at the moment.
