Anyone using that combo or have any views on that combo? I have this tonearm already and I'm considering an upgrade to that cartridge. I'm just wondering about this as I've seen recommendations for this cartridge for tonearms weighing 8-14g as well as 9-12g. Would the 13g Kuzma 4Point 9 be fine with this 5g The Colibri?
Van den Hul The Colibri XGP LW MK-II and Kuzma 4Point 9 tonearm?

Welcome to WBF, kjetilf!

Thank, Ron!
I’m currently using an Hana ML where I have a buyer lined up.
My system is a Kuzma Stabi R turntable with the Kuzma 4Point 9 tonearm with the Hana ML cartridge as well as a Kuzma Stogi tonearm with a Hana SL Mono cartridge, the phono preamp is a PS Audio Stellar Phono and the ampplifier an Accuphase E-650 integrated. Also Martin Logan Classic ESL 9 speakers and Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 speaker cables as well as interconnects.

Yes, I did, it was slightly better than 12" 4 point that I have but it had not solved the issues of tilted highs for me and I very much prefer the 12" 4 point on my system. I still have the MS strad 1.1mV in ebony if anyone is interested. I decided it is not the cartridge for me, so I will make a very good deal if anyone wants it. It has much less than 100 hours.
I lean on a new MSL Platinum, and enjoy my Miyajima Madake atm which for me are more balanced (in my system)
As a high-compliance design, Colibri are better suited to low-to-medium mass tonearms.
VdH will make you a less compliant version suitable for heavyweight arms on request.
As an aside, i understand the Miyabi Fuuga mates especially well with 4Point.
