Replaced an overly analytical $3000.00 Sound-Smith - The Voice cartridge with the modest looking $1200.00 Hana ML and am happy to report after five years of torture with the voice I'm enjoying my vinyl collection again with my new Hana ML. What makes the ML such a great cartridge is it's honest but fun presentation of the whole picture, and, sounds glorious with great recorded vinyl.

I recently purchased the Hana ML cartridge on my Volare/Kuzma combo. Nice detailed and natural sounding cartridge cartridge. Expect it to open up more as it breaks in over time. Happy with the sound of my system.

My first Low Output MC cartridge, and it takes vinyl to the next level. Recommended and will not go back to MM cartridges.

Hello Unfortunatly, the cartridge is out of order. One of the four pins (the red one) is broken. The pin fall down inside the body of the cartridge when I try to connect it into the wire rod. I tried to make it works with two other turntables with the same result; no sound on the right channel. Probably the cylinder inside the body of the cartridge and/or/ the thin wire that makes the connection is affected . I'm very sad about this situation in part due to the cost of the product. If you have a solution, let me know. PS ; I not give a low rating since you are not responsible of that situation Best regards Alain

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.
