The ROCK Hybrid is probably the best value for money interconnect in the 3T (True Transmission Technology)  program. The conductors are a combination of a solid .40 mm conductor with 11 thinner strands around it. This construction minimizes inductance to the lowest possible value. Van Den Hul L.S.C. hybrid layer further perfects the cable. Shielding is provided by two dense braids.

About 3T

All galvanic conductors that are being used in the audio industry today, are made from soft metals. The advantage is that there are a lot of free electrons available. This is beneficial for the conductivity of the cable. A large amount of free electrons automatically means a low conductor resistance. Traditionally the so called "experts" love to see this. The disadvantage of this choice is that the conductors can be reshaped rather easily; they don't posses a stable internal structure. These metals are also very sensible for thermical, chemical and mechanical ageing. For this reason, the sound will change dramatically over a relative short period of time. Result is you'll have to buy a new pair, the history repeats itself, etc. etc.. Not really a plan to get ahead of the game.

To have a longer lasting reply on the above problem, Van Den Hul were the first company that started producing a completely metal-free conductor series applying our Linear Structured Carbon (The FIRST, SECOND and THIRD).

The idea behind the 3T concept is that you use as much electrons as possible to bind the metal atoms together. The disadvantage of a slightly higher impedance is more than compensated with the rigid structure of the conducting material. The only way to do this was to, again, disregard the general views and to go in a completely new direction. The base (and eventually the outcome) of this research are:

  • No mechanical or chemical ageing anymore.
  • No metal layers in the conductor to prevent any kind of chemical activity between them.
  • Big mechanical flexibility combined with an extremely small bending radius.
  • Big mechanical pull-strength,. At least 150 Kg/mm2.
  • An amorphous structure to have no crystalline boundaries in the conductive material..
  • Completely stable at higher temperatures ( up to 250 degrees Celsius).
  • A really stable structure turned out to be only possible in a mix of various metals in an exact ratio. In the end it turned out five metals and one non-metal were needed. 
  • Extremely long lifespan without any change in sound characteristics.
  • A very short burn-in time. After approximately two hours you can expect good results. After only 48 hours the cables have reach their optimum.
  • A very high resolution during replay
  • Because of this high resolution great audible acoustics.
  • No dynamic limitation what so ever. 
  • Especially the spectre between 40 Hz - 200 Hz and 2 KHz - 15 KHz. Needs to remain perceptable. A lot of conductors experience serious problems in these areas.
  • Last but not least: applicable in industrial situations.
