From my private collection:Van den Hul Colibri XGP MC Moving Coil Phono Cartridge. This cartridge is in great operational and cosmetic condition, the sound is detailed, fast, and dynamic, stylus still sharp, cantilever and suspension is also in excellent condition. 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.

Vandenhul Colibri XGW MC phono cartridge. New stylus installed by VDH and zero use since then Retail $10200

Nearly unused high end MC cartridge handbuilt by the master van den Hul himself. Under 50 hours of playing time since I never had a turntable/tonearm combination that made use of the full potential. So I decided to let it go now. Output is a healthy 0,7mV, designed for middle-mass tonearms. Please, ask for shipping quotes, I will ship worldwide. Private sale, no warranty or refunds.

From my private collection:Van den Hul Colibri XPW MC Moving Coil Phono Cartridge. This cartridge is in great operational and cosmetic condition, the sound is detailed, fast, and dynamic, stylus still sharp, cantilever and suspension is also in excellent condition. Used under 100 hours and has been stored for many years. If you want the best, this is your chance to own one. Van Den Hul Colibri XPW Cartridge, rare platinum coil cartridge, African Black Wood Grenadille, original box. This is one of the most exclusive cartridge ever made. The Van den Hul Colibri XPW with 0,35 mV output platinum coils is completely hand built from the finest materials in the world. The platinum coils are from the most pure platinum available, 99,9999 % laboratory quality.Van den Hul used this body to build this top flagship of all his cartridges at the time. Only premium parts were used and very pure platinum coils. This has resulted in a cartridge that will give the highest analogue performance possible. With an output of 0,38 mV measured at 5.6 sec/cm and a recommended phono load of 500 Ohm, you will need a phono MC amp that gives minimal 55 db gain. The result is a very neutral, musical and engaging sound that reaches the limits of what is possible in analogue reproduction. VDH no longer makes this type of platinum coil cartridge due to the extremely high cost. 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.
