Van den hul

A.J. van den Hul B.V. based in the Netherlands (Europe) is a company that since its founding in 1980 has made it its objective to improve the qualitative aspects of phono transduction and musical signal transfer in the most broad sense by applying unique solutions and state-of-the-art technology according to cartridge and cable designer A.J. van den Hul’s profound experience and philosophies.

Our high quality product range covers moving coil (MC) and moving magnet (MM) phono cartridges as well as a broad range of audio cable and wire products serving consumer, professional and industrial applications.

Our phrase “The Link between Technique and Emotion” attempts to illustrate our product designs main aim to support the enjoyment of the emotional qualities of music.

Other important criteria with the design of our products are: the durability of our products, an optimal protection against environmental influences and the application of environmentally friendly raw materials in all aspects.

The “Seven Questions” interview which A.J. van den Hul gave to the Italian hi-fi magazine SUONO, though dating from quite some time ago, gives an interesting account of phono cartridge and cable designer A.J. van den Hul’s personal backgrounds, motivations, musical taste and his philosophies about hi-fi and the significance of EMOTION in relation to TECHNIQUE in audio design, in music and in general.

We realise that our products are not the cheapest in the world, but we think that the following points are more important than just the price:

The durability of our products.
An optimal protection against environmental influences.
The application of “Green” raw materials in all aspects.
The true wish to manufacture products for music lovers.
We are not afraid to take another route to find the best solution possible.
Constant research and development to improve existing products.
Our money is spent on R&D and not on marketing or image building.
Intensive contacts with the professional world also show us the directions to go.
All our products originate from the highest technical levels available in Europe.
