It is AJ van den Hul's most recent creation in terms of pickup capsules and, as it could not be otherwise, a revealing product both in its conception and in its technology as a result of its status as a cross between The Frog and The models. Hummingbird. Body-free, built with very light materials and equipped with newly designed voice coils, The Condor is the first product of its kind that does not transfer the slightest mechanical signal to the tonearm, providing it with sonic neutrality and a Absolutely exceptional background noise level. To this we must add a sophisticated suspension scheme that uses three different types of rubber, the absence of a front pole piece and the presence of a high-power magnet. The result is a sound presentation very similar to that of The Colibri that masterfully combines high resolution and great spatial presentation.
