Used under 150 hours and has been stored for many years. If you want the best, this is your chance to own one. Van Den Hul Colibri XGP Cartridge, rare gold coil cartridge, Polycarbonate body, original box. Van Den Hul The COLIBRI XGP,Polycarbonate body. Standard output level of 0.38mV at 5.6cm/s. Introducing The Colibri, Van Den Huls top model phono cartridge, a result of 50 years of research and development. Completely hand-built by A.J. and William van den Hul, The Colibri delivers superb tracking ability, extended channel separation, and an unbelievably direct, clean, and open soundstage. Features include a CNC machined body, VDH 1S tip, solid boron cantilever for enhanced accuracy, matched crystal gold-wire coils, and a Samarium-Cobalt magnet for superior channel separation and tracking ability. As a result of phono cartridge builder A.J. van den Hul’s continuous research into improving his phono cartridge designs our top model “The Colibri” has seen the light of day. The Colibri is the improved successor to our Grasshopper “Beauty” series of phono cartridges where many building components have been removed in a highly successful quest to return to the plain essence of phono transduction. The result is an unbelievably straightforward sounding “clean and open” design, in all its aspects bearing much resemblance to the “Colibri” named tropical bird’s swiftness, elegance and beauty; Hence the cartridge’s name. Compared to our GRASSHOPPER “BEAUTY” series the following differences stand out:By minimizing and adapting the cartridge’s total magnetic circuit the related distortion and (Barkhausen) noise have undergone a considerable decrease. This opens up many subtle sound details that never have been heard before; Especially the decay of instrument sounds now stands out much more clearly in the music’s totality.Due to the minimization of the cartridge’s total magnetic circuit the cartridge’s mass has been reduced. Together with the possibility to tune the cartridge’s static compliance on special customer demand it is now possible to use very light tonearms whilst maintaining a very good tracking ability.By removing the frontpole is has been possible to apply an even shorter cantilever; This further improves the groove-modulation-transduction’s directness and accuracy.
