“Like
a flower is borne by its stem, musical beauty can only be conveyed
by
using the very best of cable technology”.
The
ORCHID is van den Hul's first audio interconnect cable to employ
our newly developed “Tunnel Technology”: a clever
combination of physical concepts which oppose the signal level
and frequency dependent behaviour of electrical signal transfer
in cables.
Our Tunnel Technology’s underlying philosphy is that the
longer the distance of - and the better - the path is along which
the signal carrying electrons and their related electromagnetic
waves can flow unimpededly in an audio cable, the less disturbances
the signal and sound will undergo. As the result of its applied
Tunnel Technology, its high quality materials and its meticulous
manufacture, The ORCHID provides an exceptional dynamic range
and frequency response. The ORCHID furthermore is characterised
by its impeccable preservation of resolution, ambience and definition,
its unbelievable reproduction of space and distance as well as
its extremely natural, open and nonfatiguing sound. An excellent
choice for the demanding audiophile!
