The Orchid is $445 for a 1m set. $1335 for a 3m set (msrp). It's not available off the spool. It uses a solid core wire as the main conductor and the inner screen as the return conductor. The screens are saturated in their patented Linear Structured Carbon. Those who have bought the Orchid rca's for their hi-fi system consider the cable to be a bargain. We've seen it replace Audience Au 24, Analysis-Plus Solo Crystal Oval as well as van den Hul's previous flagship rca, The Second (all-carbon conductors). Someone on Audiogone also compared it to the Nordost Valhalla.
