What can be seen as the gateway to van den Hul's universe of infinite timbral richness and harmonic delicacy is a unique, entirely handcrafted moving-coil pickup cartridge that assembles key elements from some of van den Hul's most iconic models. in particular, the voice coils of The Grasshopper III and the front pole piece of the Grasshopper IV. Compatible with a wide range of tone arms, it incorporates moving coils with monocrystalline gold windings to provide a "plus" resolution to the final sound. A one-of-a-kind pickup capsule that will satisfy the most demanding.
