Anyone who has had a VdH Colibri for over 1000hrs

I am on my 3rd Colibri and have never had one long enough to put over 400hrs on it. My current H.O. XCP is as sibilant as the prev. Colibris but I love it regardless because on over 50% of my collection it is sublime! I do however feel or hope that with lots more hours the suspension will loosen up and the tracking will improve and elimate most of the sibilance. Should I reset my optimistic expectations or is there hope after all?

i've owned 7 Colibri's. the last one 4 years ago.

one of them was stellar, the rest were teases. like the woman who has too high regard for herself, some days it's heaven, other days 'not so much'.

and yes, on some pressings wonderful, others it was not happy and edgy.

i would send them back to vdH and they would come back the same. every one was different with all sorts of different length cantelivers and not one had the canteliver aligned to the body.

good luck!
