About the Condor

The Condor represents a pinnacle of phono cartridge design by A.J. van den Hul, combining the robustness of The Frog with the advanced cross-shaped modulator and nude design philosophy of The Colibri to eliminate resonances and body-induced colorations. It features no front pole piece, a very strong magnet, and an advanced three-rubber suspension system, delivering high resolution, powerful bass, smooth treble, excellent tracking, and spatial reproduction akin to live music. Available in multiple custom versions (XC-LO, XC-HO, XG-LO, XG-HO) with copper or gold coils, low or high output, and body types (P: carbon-nylon plastic, M: metal), it matches various tonearms (effective mass 12-20g). Noted for dynamic punch, detailed midrange, and compatibility with less pristine recordings in gold versions. Officially discontinued, but repairs available on request; retipping costs around $500.
