Van Den Hul XGW Master Signature Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge

Crimson XGW Master Signature Delivers Unparalleled Fidelity and Craftsmanship

The Crimson XGW Master Signature Phono Cartridge is a high-performance, hand-built moving coil cartridge designed to deliver an extraordinary auditory experience for vinyl enthusiasts. This premium cartridge, crafted by blending the finest aspects of "The Canary" and "The Condor" models, showcases an artful koa wood body meticulously CNC-machined for precision. Available in three wood finishes—natural light, dark wood, and a distinctive red—each version is coated with the original Stradivarius lacquer. This application helps minimise unwanted resonances, providing the cartridge with a uniquely vibrant, transparent sound profile. For those seeking a lighter alternative, a polycarbonate body is available upon request.

The Crimson XGW Master Signature features a high 0.65mV output level, perfect for those seeking rich dynamics with low distortion. The gold coils paired with a Samarium-Cobalt magnet offer superior sensitivity, extending channel separation for a pristine, immersive stereo image. With a VDH 1S diamond stylus and a solid boron cantilever, this cartridge excels in tracking accuracy, revealing the finest details in any record collection. The result is a sound that combines warmth and precision, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles and collectors.
