I don't have much knowledge to share about cables, why not you write some review about cables you've tried bro?

paiseh paiseh.. my cable is 2nd hand one. I bought it from one of the MCHF forummer.
I think the SRP for the First Ultimate (0.8m) now is around RM1k. I got it at 1/2 of the new price

The one i have is "the first", and the current available model is "the first ultimate", which VDH added another layer of shield to it, I strongly recommend this cable for mid to high level user, not for beginner as the price is too $$$$. The main ingredient inside the cable is great, there is no metal involved, yes ... not copper but some kind of carbon called "LSC". Another disadvantage is: the cable comes in termination by factory, you cannot buy bulk & DIY because you cannot do soldering on carbon. I think the longest version VDH have is 1.5m or 2m at most.

I was using Monster cable XLN-Pro b4 i get "the first", I managed to get big big improvement to the sound in terms of the characteristic, it is far more better than XLN-pro, I can say it is sweet, clear, dynamic but not harsh. You will get wider & deeper soundstage, better transparency too.

Maybe you won't believe it until you have personally using this cable in your system (run in period required). I only recommend this cable for those who are already quite satisfied with their system & looking for some bonus improvement. It is useless if you put a RM1k cable wth RM500 speakers & RM500 amp..  ;D

just my 2 cents, sorry for my bad english.

17Ters,

pls take note... those prices are excluding
shipping, duties and taxes.

only 4 series interconnects can be custom to
more than 2m to be used for car audio. they
are D102 III, The Source, D300 III and Bay C5.
nevertheless, VDH RCA connectors are very
difficult to find locally and they are expensive.
around RM135/pair. so, Neutrik are normally used
or even Canare.

on the same website, you can read up the info
on the interconnects mentioned above.

cheers.

Thanks for da heads up! Will read thru the website first...

You  mean this VDH is RM135 per pair at what lenght but CBKHoon mentioned it is about 1K?

Anyway.. What do you think when its compared to the 401? My opinions on 401 are, they are too pretty melodic and somehow smoother than most cables I have tried. One thing they are quiet. These observations are based on my current setup and at the moment of observation, it was not properly tuned and the drivers are not fully optimised. Thanks again! And, sorry ah.. Paiseh asking so many questions...  ;D ;D

my friend,

RM135 for a pair of RCA connectors (heads) only.
i dun think you can find 1st ultimate at RM1K now.
D102 III 1m pair ori pack is now listing at RM1K.

how is VDH compared with 401? most people that
have used VDH are happy with the result. it is also
personnel preference.

cheers.
