TWO WINNERS 👉A New Cartridge from Hana/Japan.
Hana S, Series MK. II
Hana S Series Mk II cartridges use a new tapered aluminum cantilever with higher rigidity, and effective mass reduction at stylus tip, resulting in enhanced clarity and music transfer from vinyl record to cartridge generator. The heavier Mk II cartridges offer better coupling with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and dynamics. The SL MK II generator, as found in the Umami Blue and ML, incorporates an Alnico magnet and cross-coil using high purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance. This improves signal to noise, reduces moving mass for higher resolution and trackability, and optimizes performance for a broader range of phono stages.
$850.
