Van Den Hul Grasshopper III XGM rare diamond cantilever top notch cartridge

I have Van Den Hul Grasshopper III XGM cartridge for sale. This is MC type with output 0.6mV. The cartridge was re-cantilevered by VDH with custom diamond cantilever. This is also rare gold coils and metal body version.
The cartridge is remarkable performer, reading every single bit of the record- eating it and breathing it. The most amazing is the base level and how it fills the room with sonic like boom. It is the most intriguing- sounding VDH top cartridge I've had. The diamond cantilever made the background stage much quieter and darker-so all images become more defined and musical.

The cantilever is straight, the stylus is sharp. The cartridge has just under 50 hours after re-tip and has another 4000 to go. Never thought I would sell it, but I'm closing big deal on purchasing cartridge collection and have to sell some of my treasures through Audiogon and private deals to finance.

Mr. Van Den Hul has great support and exchange program for upgrading to other VDH toys if desired.
The cartridge tracks the best at 1.6-1.7 gram. It comes with the shipping box and mounting ware.
