Just outstanding in every way. Can’t stop listening. What a joy to these ears. Work the VTA until it’s just right and the walls disappear.

I had the Hana ML and enjoyed it so much I decided to upgrade to the Hana Umami when Hana offered the trade-up deal. I'm glad I did it, though the cost was a stretch, but this retired audiophile just had to audition a truly "high end" cartridge at least once. The Umami is everything the ML is but just better. Dynamics, timbre, low frequency articulation, detail - it's all there but most importantly it remains musical. And no matter how high the volume this cart just remains absolutely composed. I am still deciding on a final load setting and having great fun in the process.

I upgraded to the Umani from a ML. The difference is a dramatic change in overall balance. I suspect there will be increased dynamic range once I have broken in the cartridge. My only complaint is that the set screws that accompanied the cartridge too long or too short for my tone arm. Upscale was extremely helpful, friendly and supportive in finding what would work best for my stereo. Their focus was what was going to make me happy and not what they needed to unload or sell. I ended up upgrading my pre amp too! I will not buy from anyone else in the future.

I've been an audiophile for several years and have had a few high priced cartridges. Nothing compares to the Red Umami- the most amazing sound I have ever heard from my system. My vinyl collection has been revitalized!

I think the product it's five stars but just in case I give it four because I'm new to game. I'm satisfied, I have 14 months of experience into vinyl but the service always top notch.
