Woops, I stand corrected. The Colibri is still being made.

@mijostyn  : You can ask here for the not body wood low output Colibri. This is a trusty retailer with good prices:

@mijostyn, the MSL Signature Platinum is very high in the food chain of modern high end MC cartridges. I haven’t heard it myself, but do own Accuphase AC-6, which is also a Matsudaira design. Based on the price level, this cartridge is most likely at the performance level of the Hyper and Ultra Eminent models (mixing the specs of the former with the boron cantilever of the latter). The system is very dynamic and neutral, almost to the point of being antiseptic. No flavouring, no ‘gorgeous tone colour’ or any other attributes, except of course when it’s in the recording. Of all the cartridges I use it’s probably the most ‘honest’. Assuming this is Matsudaira’s premier design objective, the Signature Platinum will most likely aim for that same goal at the highest level.

Thank You @edgewear ! I like Honest. And Thank You @rauliruegas! I bookmarked that page and will certainly contact them when I am ready to buy. 

Regarding Allaerts specifications. Those are public information with

''physical assumptions'' . That is to say that experiments under the

same conditions should deliver the same results. If those are not

''the same'' than the claim is not true. The scientific ''truth

values'' are two:  either true or false (tertium non datur).

The ''argument'' of different test records avoids ''the same conditions''.

Are ''different records'' not available ?
