“Subtle but a great upgrade from the Hana SL, everything is similar same but better, quieter in the groove, and more detailed from top to bottom. Next will be the Umami.”

“The Hana M series MC Phono Cartridge ML upgrade happened at the same time a Manley Chinook was moved into the lineup. On that basis it would be impossible for me to review either component, but I can highly recommend the combination. I'd venture to say this equipment produces world class sound. Many thanks to Sean on the Upscale team for the guidance.”

“It's still breaking in though thus far I'm completely satisfied with it's linearity and well defined bass.”

“I can't really separate the Hana from my Concept/Carbon. The total package is awesome and worth every penny. I can only compare to my old set ups and the Hana blows that away. The bass is much better and details are coming out that have been hidden by lesser carts. I listen to jazz and classical mostly and I haven't heard anything close to the same money that does a better job than the Hana.”

“A great recommendation from Kat. A very musical and balanced sound. A huge upgrade from a more expensive Ortofon Black.”

“fabulous cartridge. as good a $1200 investment as I have found. I know you can spend more but why bother? I've got five figures in my system and would need to spend 2x on each of my current components before I would consider a more expensive cartridge. I love my analog setup so now I can spend my money on feeding my vinyl addiction”

“I replaced my Denon 103R with the Hana ML cartridge. It provided a significant improvement across the frequency range, especially in the mid-range. One thing I'd point out is that the Hana is a physically heavy cartridge. Before purchasing one, be sure that your tonearm counterweight can balance this cartridge. Mine could not. I had to tape 2 steel washers on the back of my counterweight to set the vertical tracking force. Pretty ugly look.”
