“Very pleased with the cartridge. A big step up from my Denon 103.”

“Love the Hana cart works very well with Clearaudio Concept magnetic tone arm with MC transformer. The clearaudio mag arm is a very good match for the Hana El, one of the few cartridges that let the tone arm sing. Before this, I was not a fan of the Concept magnetic tonearm, fussy to set up and extremely sensitive to any vibration. Great combination.”

“This is my second Hana EL cartridge. I like it so much I bought a spare since they are on sale now. I also own the Hana SL and while it has just a little more resolution at the top end, I actually prefer the sound of the EL; it's fuller-bodied. I own Dynavectors (23R, 10x5) and Denons (103R) and Ortofons (MM Black) and there are subtle differences but this Hana is just as good as any of those, better in some ways, on my turntable. Using it with a step-up transformer and a tube mm phono preamp.”

“Upgraded from a Ortofon 2m Blue really made me smile. Much more detail and space. The soundstage was larger, and just better overall. Great sounding cartridge.”

“It's a smooth sounding cartridge. The drums hit hard. The sound is just gorgeous.”
