Hello, I looked into trying out a moving coil cartridge via upscale Audio. Richard reached out to me to see what I was looking for in the sound of vinyl. I told him what I missed out of my music. He recommend the Hana Umami Blue. He nailed it!! Love my music. It's a perfect match with my setup. Got my Klipsch Cornwall IV's singing. I'm hearing instruments in greater detail. I'm not an Audiophile but I think this is one of the best carts I've ever heard for the money. Thanks again Richard for your help and support. BTW, my Prima Luna Evo 400 is sounding awesome with those KT150 and Brimar CV4003 tubes putting in work. Thanks guys!

Paired it with a Dr. Feickert Trio Turntable and Kuzma tonearm, and I couldn't be more pleased. The musicality and detail this cartridge provides for this price point is exceptional. I highly recommend it!

It was a much bigger upgrade from my Sumiko Starling than I thought it would be.

A perfect match with my Rega P8. Beautiful in construction, awesome in performance. My vinyl is revealing detail not heard with my previous setup.

A cinematic musical experience. This is a beautiful cartridge, well worth its price.

Highly recommended. The Blue is definitely a step up from my previous Dynavector 20x2L. I'm no expert in cartridges but in my opinion this cartridge punches way above its weight.

Have not had time to take my TT over to my friend, Charlie Vallejo, to set up. Holidays now here probably won't get to it until next year.
