I'm summarizing my experience with the Hana ML mounted on my new Rega Planar 6 along with the Sutherland KC Vibe Mk 2 phono preamp. Since all those components are new to me, it's hard to comment on the sound of each part on its own. However, when Richard at Upscale was walking me through the selection process, he did say that the Hana would give smooth, even sound. He was exactly right. The bass is deep but not tubby, the highs are present but they don't sizzle, and I'm hearing a lot of detail that I never noticed before. I find it a very musical cartridge and I can listen for hours without getting bored or fatigued. I am very pleased with my choice. Thank you, Upscale and Richard!

Traveling, so have not yet mounted the ML cartridge. With all the excellent reviews I am confident the choice was a great one... especially with the Hana sale pricing still going on.

A sideways move from my Shelter 501-III, with a significant payoff in extension and detail. Used with a Bob's Devices Step Up Transformer into the MM stage on my Supravox Vouvray amp. Great results.

Upgraded from a mid-priced MM cart on the recommendation of my speaker manufacturer. Hana went on a Feickert Volare/Audiomods combo and I believe this is going to stay on for a long time. Kat and crew are awesome, when the Hana wears out Upscale will be my first call.

Replaced an overly analytical $3000.00 Sound-Smith - The Voice cartridge with the modest looking $1200.00 Hana ML and am happy to report after five years of torture with the voice I'm enjoying my vinyl collection again with my new Hana ML. What makes the ML such a great cartridge is it's honest but fun presentation of the whole picture, and, sounds glorious with great recorded vinyl.
