Moved up from the Hana blue, which was a great cartridge. The Red works much better with my phono stage. Definitely an amazing cartridge.!! Worth the upgrade!!

Had the entry level Hana on my VPI. Time came to replece or upgrade. I was happy with The Hana and thought about going blue, but went Red. I was expecting a few mild suttle improvements here and there. What I got was a different world. It was one of those "play all your records again" moments. From top to bottom the musical spectrum was more detailed and palpable. Soundstage was deeper and much more defined. Instruments had a better level of reality than before. I know for most a cartridge at this cost is a bit much but once you have it you know its a investment on your listening experince. I have to give a shout out to Sean-Paul at Upscale Audio, his knowledge of all things vinyl is vast and deep. This Hana Unami Red is my desert island cartridge. I understand why its a "A" rated product by Stereophile. Highly recomended.

The Hana Umami Red has many glowing reviews in several publications which after hearing, I wholeheartedly agree with. the Red sounds great and is getting better as burn-in continues. On a side note* I especialy want to thank Sean-Paul Williams | Analog Manager for his help and customer service. He answered all of my questions and Sean-Paul and/or his team did great work installing the Red on my Dr. Feickert, moved my Umami Blue to my other TT, and repaired the wire harness connected to the Feickert. I cannot recomend the Umami Red and the analog team high enough...
