Shout out to Finest Fidelity & Randy Forman
I wanted to give a huge shout out to Randy Forman with Finest Fidelity. I had recently purchased a VDH Colibri XGP and when it arrived I mishandled it cleaning it and had to find a repair shop for it vs sending it over to Europe to VDH for repair. I had reached out to Nigel Bousfield of Sonare Coeli in Wisconsin(another great audiophile/dealer) to tell him of my mishap and he educated me that Randy use to be the VDH distributor here in the states and had a VDH rebuild service. So after making contact with Randy and chatting, I sent my Colibri to him and had it back completely rebuilt from top to bottom in less than 3 weeks. I mounted it following his detailed instructions and all I can say is WOW! What a fantastic cartridge, I have Koetsu Urishi Black, Haniwa HTCR-01, Audio Techinica ART-9 XI for reference. If you need any cartridges repaired give Randy a ring you will be glad you did, the work is 1st rate and he is a great guy just to talk audio with.
Highly recommended…
