I purchased this cartridge as I was looking for a replacement for a Dynavector 20x2H. Instead of just allowing me to spend the higher price for the next level Dynavector, the Analog department spent quite a while on the phone going over what my main end goal was for sound (even though I admit even I wasn't quite sure). This wasn't the first time they've done this and once again they were totally right. The Hana M Series is a fantastic sounding cartridge in my setup and it's not even broken in yet. Three times they have steered me down the right path and saved me money in the process. THIS is what you want in an audio sales business and Upscale is the only place I trust.

The Hana ML sounds better to my ears than the 3K cartridge it replaced. It's warmer, detailed and more involving.

A truly lovely cart and a nice upgrade from the SL which was already fantastic.

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.
