Van Damme Blue STUDIO Grade UPOFC Pro Loudspeaker Cable 2.5mm fitted with high quality connectors.
This is a high quality speaker cable suitable for any system from budget up to high end.
The connectors are a crimped fit, often called cold weld. These are high quality gold plated connectors and are fitted with an industrial heavy duty crimping tool, not something that can be done with a small hand held crimp tool.
The Van Damme range of blue series 2 core speaker cables has now been comprehensively upgraded and now feature finer stranded conductors and utilise the latest PVC composite jacket materials to provide the highest level of flexibility together with totally efficient signal transmission.
Ultra Pure Oxygen Free Copper (UPOFC)
Van Damme now use a higher purity oxygen free copper for the conductors which further improves the ‘solderability’ and conductivity of the conductor resulting in faithful and transparent signal reproduction.
In common with most cables of its type, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is used for the conductor insulation. The PVC polymers used by Van Damme maximise the flexibility, heat resistance and stress resistance characteristics of PVC to ensure that there is a minimum of insulation ‘shrinkback’ when soldering and a high level of flexibility even after years of use and abuse.
The overall jacket material is a neoprene heavy special PVC composite that has an almost rubberised quality making it very flexible.

Kirit Ladva –
Just brilliant!
Mark puts these cables together beautifully. Terminations are solid & high quality, all crimped in place with a very neat and professional finish.
I recently had a home demo of some new speakers and the store gave me a set of Chord Rumour cables to try with the speakers too. I did back to back tests for a few hours listening to the same few tracks. In my room, with my system and ears, I couldn’t hear any difference. I’m sure the Chord cables are more advanced in every way vs the VD blue cables however for me and my system at least I couldn’t justify the massive step up in cost.
This is the second set of VD cables I’ve purchased from Mark and will come back for more without hesitation if I need more in the future.
