“Astounded with what I’m hearing! Went from a MoFi MM master tracker, to the ML from Hana, I am thrilled with the results. Detail I never heard before is jumping out, speed and separation is just so defined. Musical and sweet. Bill really took care of me and I couldn’t be happier. Feels like a steal for the price.

“I've got HANA Umami Red from Upscale Audio for my main rig (SME 20/3 and Manley Steelhead) about 3 years ago. It was an amazing upgrade from another, more costly cartridge. It transformed my system - jazz, classical, progressive rock sounded soo natural and just with a bit sweetness without loss of details. The sounstage was spectacular - wide and almour three-dimentional. Hana ML went to my second system- Yamaha PF-800, replacing vintage Ortofon X3-MC cartridge. Installation was a breeze, and, even with unexpensive Phonomena II phonostage, the basic sonic signature of Hana Red was there: very low surface noise, same touch of sweetness not masking the details, three-dimentional soundstage, though just a bit narrower than one provided by Red. I still have less than 30 hours on HANA ML, and the cart is evolving to better. Also I'd like to mention almoust full absence of hum and noice, even at 60dB setting. Bottom line - I would live quite happily with HANA ML installed on my primary table - so good this relatively unexpencive little cart us! P.S. Upscale Audio Customer service is outstanding”

“I have paired this cartridge with a Technics SL1210GAE turntable and the result is fantastic. Great detail, separation and soundstaging. Really exciting presentation. Thanks to Sean Paul at Upscale Audio for his expert advice on setting up the cartridge.”
