Van Den Hul Colibri XGW 'Gran Cru'

The VDH Colibri XGW 'Gran Cru' is the culmination of A.J. van den Hul's 44 years of phono cartridge research and development. The Colibri Gran Cru (a special Grand Vintage, you might say) features hand-wound gold wire coils and a solid boron cantilever while the outer shell, or cartridge body, is constructed from the Koa tree. This is a Hawaiin tree revered for its use in instrument making and some surfboards.

This translates to a targeted set of resonance patterns within the structure leading to pleasing music reproduction.

Pairing this Koa wood with the hand-wound matched crystal gold coils AND an extra magnet for even more resolution means this cartridge hits the next level in performance.

This is an extraordinary cartridge, that gives you everything - Resolution, musicality, huge dynamics and warmth.
