Hana MC Stereo Cartridge with Nude Microline Tip

Description

Hand-Made Hana MH and ML Moving-Coil Cartridges Offer
Outrageously Good Performance: Precisely Fit into Vinyl Grooves, Extract Rich
Detail, Provide Stellar Damping, Play with Lush Linearity

Higher-specifications parts, extra-pure copper wiring,
Delrin cartridge bodies, cryogenically processed materials, and threaded
headshell fittings all equate to deluxe performance from Hana M Series
MH and ML moving-coil cartridges. Devised to more precisely fit into vinyl
grooves and provide exceptional damping, the Japanese-made models extract
information with archeological-like purpose and expertise – all while
proving among the most linear, extended, dynamic, and consistent
cartridges anywhere near their price class. The only difference between the
models: MH is high-output (2mV) while ML is low-output (0.4mV).

Befitting its name, the hand-assembled M Series uses a nude
microline stylus that mimics the form of a cutting stylus and fits more
precisely into the vinyl groove. The design also enhances tracking to capture
the most delicate details with better frequency reproduction, imaging,
and resolution. In the moving-coil windings themselves, high-purity copper
wire offers greater clarity. ML features a new low-impedance generator for
optimized performance with a broader range of phono preamps.

Injection-molded from Delrin, a high-tech polymer with
improved mechanical characteristics for better resonance damping, M Series’
cartridge bodies reveal copious amounts of low-level information and extend the
dynamic range. Metal threaded fittings for headshell-mounting hardware are also
built into the body, offering easy attachment and superior mechanical interface
for attention-getting bass and frequency response. The body also features an
integral machined brass cap for constrained-mode layer damping. And its
9.5-gram weight provides stellar compatibility with a wider range of tonearms
and turntables.

Cryogenic processing, which restructures metals at
the molecular level, is especially beneficial in Alnico-based magnetic electro-motive
circuitry (cartridge signal generator). Cryogenically treated M Series parts
include the front yoke as well as center and rear components, yielding more a
precise and controlled magnetic flux field for greater linearity and overall
sonics.

In sum, Hana M Series has everything – and much more –
offered by many more expensive cartridges. If you haven’t yet experienced
the gorgeous sound afforded by Hana, there’s never been a better time.
