Van Den Hul The Skyline Hybrid Speaker Cable - Custom Length
The SKYLINE HYBRID is an elegant small twin conductor loudspeaker cable with outstanding qualities. The SKYLINE HYBRID is a low priced member of our AWG 14 twin-lead loudspeaker cable range which consists of The GOLDWATER, The CLEARWATER, The BRIDGE, The SNOWLINE, The CLEARLINE and The SKYLINE HYBRID. The SKYLINE HYBRID is the only Hybrid cable in this range: Each lead combines 19 high purity Oxygen Free Copper strands with a coating containing our Linear Structured Carbon ®. This combination of metal and carbon (hybrid technology) has excellent properties when it comes to resolution and neutrality, and therefore is standard applied in all of our heavier loudspeaker cables.
The SKYLINE HYBRID has been designed to be less flexible than its above mentioned colleagues, reflecting its aim to be used in more permanent high quality loudspeaker wiring applications. The SKYLINE HYBRID is 8.5 mm wide and 3.4 mm thick. Each of its two 2.04 mm conductors exhibit a resistance of 0.84 Ohm/100 m. The cable’s jacket is made of sky-blue coloured HULLIFLEX ® 3, a robust halogen free material excellently capable of shielding the copper conductors from the chemically threatening outside world. The cable’s sky-blue colour quite accurately represents its sonic character: as clear as a cloudless blue sky. The insulation of both conductors has a different shape: one is round and the other has two edges with type printing on the flat surface: the most simple polarity finder you can think off. Type printing at 25 cm. (10") distance facilitates cutting of lengths.

Great value and sounds good

This cable is of excellent value and easy to terminate. I ordered it with the ends cut and stripped, and the stereo pair arrived neatly coiled and shrink-wrapped. The sound is very good when linking my Arcam A28 amp to my Dali Opticon 2 speakers.
It's a bonus that the cable is attractive to look at and easy to route and terminate (I'm using Van den Hul's banana plugs, which I already had).

Had this cable nearly a week now ,the highs now less harsh and seems easier to listen too also bass is more defined and detailed. Overall decent budget cable from a highly reputable brand, the look and feel of this cable is quite pleasing , so should settle down soon and sound very good for low cost cable.
Futureshop excellent all round a pleasure to deal with. I recommend a lengthy burn in for best results.
