- This moving coil cartridge is almost new, has ~ 40 hours of use. Original retail price: $5,495

- Punches way above its weight, competes well with the BIG boys in the moving coil arena.

- Correction: The body is wood, albeit a very dark wood, African Blackwood, also known as ironwood (see comments below) .

- Original retail price was $5,495, at my asking price of more than 50% off retail you won't find a better sounding cartridge.  Guaranteed not DOA, and to be as described.

Won't last at this price, get yourself a Christmas present you really want !


I am selling because I recently changed my system over to a strain gauge
cartridge which uses a completely different pre-amp, so I no longer need the Crimson.

- I am relatively new to Audiogon, but I have a feedback rating of over 900 on Ebay  (audioroundup). 

- I'll try to answer any, and all, questions quickly as I check my Email many times a day.

Questions for the seller
FYI there are no dark polycarbonate body Crimson Stradivarius bodies..It is Dark Wood..
Thanks ! I have never seen a wood this dark, even on the van denHul website none of the wood looks this dark, it is almost black ! What type of wood do you think it is ?
I Believe It is African Blackwood known as ironwood...Finest Fidelity..North American Distributor van den Hul
I think you are right, and it is lacquered so that is why it is so shiny. Thanks again for all your help !
