WOW! posted on 09/30/2023 5 Stars High end sonics to the ceiling! Great cartridge for the money. Sounds like it should cost a lot more.

Exceeded my expectations posted on 06/20/2016 5 Stars Stelly, Wanted to express my deep appreciation for the advice on the Hana MC – it exceeded my expectations and you’re right – it reveals micro-dynamics and subtle details the Eroica couldn’t touch. With careful set-up, this cart is a giant-killer and would be a good deal at 1K! Again, many thanks for steering me to a cartridge I would have otherwise overlooked completely. I will be seeking you out when it’s time to upgrade the turntable! - TH “audiofan”
