Hana EH moving-coil cartridge Review – Read More

“The Hana cartridge is the best cartridge I have ever owned. I have been using my Hana almost every day for hours, so there is probably well over 1,500 hours on it. The sound has not degraded at all, which means this is a fairly durable moving coil cartridge. I bought a number of extra cartridges so I could rotate cartridges and not wear out the Hana, however, I still use the Hana almost exclusively. ” – Byron Baba

HANA AND HER SISTERS: the EL and EH moving coil cartridges – Read More

“Theres a sense of swings and roundabouts in terms of the EH and EL versions of the Hana cartridges. I felt that the EH provided a slightly more accurate and tonally a tad more exacting performance in how the detail was extracted from the master while the EL, utilising that slight measure of extra warmth, gave the music a slightly more forgiving nature. In effect, you could say that the EL looks at the bigger picture. The latter, rather than focusing upon specifics, provided a possibly more engaging and flowing performance. Both cartridges, however, performed well and both bring genuine advantages to any listening session while both offer terrific value for money. “

Hana EH and SL – Read More

“Both Hanas would have suited him, the EH with the wine, the SL with his eyes closed. The EH is easier to enjoy, it plays without pretensions and performs well, giving that cosy feeling we all want on Christmas eve. The SL benefits from a better arm, gives you more detail and is more to the point, it reaches for the audio haute cuisine. If you play records every once in a while the elliptical stylus will be more than adequate. If you have a larger budget for turntable and arm and want more from you record collection, take the Shibata track. Your preamp/phono stage will make the choice for you between high or low output versions. Note that the low output Hana needs an impedance of 500 Ohms and no less if you want to enjoy the higher notes and full dynamics. If the vinyl revival continues I see a bright future for the new Hana brand, its excellent price to quality ratio should ensure that. ” – Ren van Es
