van den Hul Crimson XGW Stradivarius - New in Box

This is for a new Van den Hul Crimson XGW Stradivarius cartridge, complete with in-home setup anywhere in the continental US and most parts of Canada.

Please refer to the purchasing guidelines below to order your new cartridge. Mr. Van den Hul follows many of the same principles we’ve found to work in the design of our turntables here at Galibier Design.

His approach to the cartridge body matches how we treat the record to platter interface – matching the speed of sound between adjacent elements to ensure optimal energy transfer.

Attention to small details like this counts!

Contact us to see if this cartridge is a good match for you. We are dealers for Van den Hul, Lyra, Dynavector, Ortofon and Koetsu cartridges along with many fine tonearms including Kuzma, Schröder, Durand and Tri-Planar.

Don't underestimate the importance of tuning the setup of a thoroughbred like this cartridge. You cannot get the best out of any fine cartridge merely by "dialing in the numbers" and our onsite setup is a critical element to getting the most out of your analog rig.

Here's one testimonial from one of our customers about our service.

Here’s a narrative of a recent demo we performed with this cartridge – demonstrating compatibility with a Kuzma 4Point tonearm. We take great pride in ensuring a match for our customers' systems and tastes.

Who we are

Galibier design has been designing and manufacturing state of the art turntables since 2001. We’ve recently developed a 300B power amplifier (The NiWatt) along with a line of cables. We sell manufacturer direct and in many instances, we’ll travel to set up your system.

All of these details are laid out on our "Products" Page

Purchasing guidelines

Please use our "Contact" page to inquire about products of interest.

The vast majority of our items are not “buy it now” items, because some customization/configuration is almost always required. Our products are typically “configured to order” and delivery times can vary.

We want to set expectations for delivery time and discuss product configuration with you prior to purchase.

This does not mean we accept lowball offers on factory-new products, but rather, the "make an offer" option is the only Audiogon-approved method for directing you to our website to complete the transaction.

Bargain Bin Items

You will find an occasional listing from our “Bargain Bin” page which may be advertised as a “buy it now” option, but for the most part we’ll work with you directly on these items – again, due to configurable options (turntables), or alternatively because some listings may be consignment items we need to clear with the owner before accepting an offer.

Check our "Bargain Bin" page for current items.

Payment

Payment can be made by PayPal, major credit cards, check (with time to clear) and of course, old fashioned cash.

Trade in Policy

• We have a liberal trade-in/upgrade policy for Galibier products, and one of the first turntables we ever sold in 2001 is running at current specifications. Contact us for details.
• We generally don't take trade-ins of other manufacturers products, but we will consign them - placing them on our Bargin Bin and frequently advertising them here as well.

Visiting Galibier

We're located in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, about 35 minutes from the airport and offer audition travel rebates for many items. Details are on our "Purchase" Page.

Colorado is a great place for a family vacation, and many individuals take advantage of this opportunity to visit us and audition.
