i've just noticed that some vdh cables such as integration hybrid and second are being now frequently mentioned as pro cables in studios and concert setups (especially for live recordings).it surprised me a bit, as i've had a feeling that vdh products didn't have such a good reputation neither in the states with competition from nordost, cardas, transparent audio nor in england with chord etc.
vdh are not usually mentioned for neutrality, transparency etc - they used to have a reputation of a rather sophisticated tone control.
Follow Ups:
You simply have the wrong information. We have more cables in top international studios than in hi fi systems combined. Professional recording people prefer neutrality and transparency and maximum consistancy. It's the HiFi busines that have been relying on cables to equalize their systems. That's why we saw hundreds of new companies getting into the cable business. 98% of them are simply re-packaging existing generic cables.van den Hul has been a "real" manufacturer for decades and decades.
hope this helps and it is not my intention to create an avalanche of replies. I'm simply stating facts.
Regards to all,
Andre
Andre,Thanks for the reply. My apologize - not sure if you are related to the company directly or you're a dealer or distributor.
It would be good to know what VdH cables are the most used in studios and if there are particular recommendations.
No worries...Many VDH cables are used in pro and broadcast installations around the world. Some are also used in mixing consoles by Solid State Logic, Neve and Focusrite - These are the top console makers of the world; hundreds of kilometers are used... Not to mention VDH wiring in many of the most prestigeous loudspeaker companies.

Flexicon B4

The Revelationhope this helps... I believe that the wire and cable market in the USA is saturated and exploited in every sense of the word. For this reason we prefer to remain "under the radar"
