The van den Hul Colibri XGW Master Signature is the ultimate high-end MC phono cartridge from the legendary Colibri family, handmade by A. J. van den Hul himself. It combines a Pau Ferro wood housing with a multi-layered "Stradivarius" finish, matched crystal gold coils, and a specially optimized magnetic configuration for maximum resolution, dynamics, and musicality.

Thanks to the precise VDH-1S stylus (2×85 µm) and highly developed generator technology, it offers a rich, detailed, and extremely transparent sound reproduction – with outstanding channel separation and fine spatial imaging.

Each unit is made to order and can be individually customized, making this system a true benchmark in audiophile phono technology.
