Hana Umami Red Moving Coil Cartridge

A great cartridge right out of the box! The bass is reproduced very well while the highs are crisp and silky smooth. I’m wondering how it will sound after break-in if it sounds this good already.

Spectacular. The difference from my old Hana ML, which I love, is truly remarkable. Much more - more musicality, more information, more clarity, more aural space. I can’t stress enough how good this sounds. It’s currently riding on a Technics 1210G, feeding into a Lab 12 Melto 2 phonostage. I think I’d have to spend a LOT more to get anything that sounds even a little better.
