“Great cartridge! Super dynamic, detailed, but not harsh or overly bloated. Love it.”

“I replaced a Rega Ania Pro cartridge on my Rega P6 turntable with the Umami Blue. Bill Rudolph was very helpful during the consultation and sales process. I've put about 60 hours on the new cartridge and am very happy. Where the Ania Pro was energetic and lively, the Hana Umami Blue captures all the detail but delivers with a warmer, wonderfully lush sound quality. Setup on the P6 was easy with just a protractor and digital stylus tracking weight scale. The only concerns for those considering Hana Umami cartridges is they are quite heavy at 10.8 grams. I maxxed out my tonearm counterwieght at the very limit of travel to achieve 2 gram tracking. Also, the output is quite low so a high quality MC phono stage is highly recommended. In short, it's expensive but I'm very pleased.”

“Excellent cartridge I use it with SME model 6 and chord symphonic. My Unison research triode 25 caught fire so I bought a used prelude premium as it was all I could afford. Harbeth super HL5 plus speakers. I buy all my tubes from upscale.”
