Made the upgrade from a MoFi Master Tracker to this ML. After some time with this cartridge it started to open up and reveal it self in all its glory. Very impressed at how much it changed my listening sessions. I'm not knocking the Mastertracker which came on my Ultra Deck purchased here as I enjoyed it also. Love the past purchases made at Upscale always first class service...

Best cartridge that retails for $1200. Lots of detail due to microcline stylus that matches the shape of the mastering record cutting stylus! High purity copper. And other characteristics make sound smooth. Sounds better than a lot cartridges costing considerably more $.

After a fair sampling of circa 1000.00 cartridges this is quite likely the most value available. A true winner in its class. Also my best choice for a relatively low priced turntable, not over-reaching for an upgraded Rega RP3 and 303 arm.

I purchased this cartridge in combination with the Pro-Ject 6 PerspeX SB turntable and Pro-Ject DS3 Phono Box. This is my first dive into a true analog rig so I have nothing really to compare it too. Overall, once the cartridge was broken in, I was totally blow away by the amount of detail, soundstage, and finesse the ML provided. I am glad I went straight to a low output MC as my expecatations were very high to begin with coming from a high end digital setup. Let's just say, this rig is so good I haven't used my digital source since! The overall smoothness and balance is unmatched. Upscale did a fantastic job helping me select not only the turntable but the cartridge as well. They are very knowledgable about the products they sell and seem to have a high regard when it comes to the Hana brand. Highly recommneded!

Terrific cartridge and excellent value for money. Easiest way for me to describe is that things sound more analog - less hard edges than previous cart - but still very detailed and the bass extends very low. Excellent service from Upscale as usual - thanks Sean Paul and Bill!

Great cartridge. 2nd Hana...upgraded from a 4 year old Hana SL. The SL is good cartridge and the M was a good upgrade.
