Precision handmade masterpieces.

Just when you think “It doesn’t get any better”…

The CRIMSON is a top performance custom handbuilt moving coil phono cartridge. A crossbreed of our The CANARY and The CONDOR. THis cartridge is availabale in natural light and darkwood colour as well as in a red coloured (also wooden) version. On special request a Polycarbonate body is available.

Specific characteristics for this great cartridge are a relatively high (0,65mV) output, gold coils, a Samarium-Cobalt magnet, extended channel seperation and superb tracking abillity.

They are packed in attractive boxes, accompanied with all specific product properties and Mr. van den Hul’s personal signature.

As the popularity of vinyl is reviving again, many requests came in to develop a High-End phono cartridge for a more affordable price than The COLIBRI. The CRIMSON is the result and probably one of the cartridges with the best value for money available. It is completely hand build by the Master himself and comes with a 200 hour service check-up, free of charge (for the original owner).

The production time for a CRIMSON cartridge after ordering is about three weeks.
