XGW-HO, XGP-HO, XGM-HO and XGA-HO (-W, -P, -M and -A type see extra info) Types available: XCW-HO, XCP-HO, XCM-HO and XCA-HO (-W, -P, -M and -A type see extra info).High output, most suitable for jazz music.XC-HO & XG-HO Version: (X = cross shaped modulator, C = matched crystal Copper wire coils, G = matched crystal Gold wire coils, HO = High Output) Types available: XCW, XCP, XCM, XCA (-W, -P, -M and -A type see extra info).XC Version: (X = cross shaped modulator, C = matched crystal Copper wire coils) Types available: XGW, XGP, XGM, XGA (-W, -P, -M and -A type see extra info).Medium output, most suitable for classical music.XG Version: (X = cross shaped modulator, G = matched crystal Gold wire coils) The Colibri is available in three main versions: Due to the minimal magnetic design the output voltage has slightly reduced. 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.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. Due to the minimization of the cartridge’s total magnetic circuit the cartridge’s mass has been reduced.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. By minimizing and adapting the cartridge’s total magnetic circuit the related distortion and (Barkhausen) noise have undergone a considerable decrease. 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.Ĭompared to our GRASSHOPPER “BEAUTY” series the following differences stand out: 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. van den Hul’s continuous research into improving his phono cartridge designs our top model “The Colibri” has seen the light of day. A version with matched crystal gold coils and 0.65 mV/channel, output is also available.Īs a result of phono cartridge builder A.J. Our top model custom hand built phono cartridge The Colibri, featuring matched crystal copper coils with 0.30 or 0.38mV/channel output.
