Review on 🎡 Hana SL Series MC Cartridges by John Destruction

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hana SL - does everything right!

I have been involved with vinyl for over 50 years and have owned several turntables and cartridges over the years. Most pickups are MM, but I have a pair of Denon MC pickups for around $300. After researching opinions on various MC cartridges under $1,000, I finally ordered the Hana SL cartridge. Audio critics say it's a lot better than the sub-$500 cartridges, and some say it's on par with other $2,000+ cartridges. I've been using it for seven months now and I agree with all the praise this cartridge has received. The lows are nice and clear, the mids are spot on and the highs are smooth and natural, not overly bright like some cartridges. This is the ONLY tape that I can listen to for hours without tiring the listener. I use Hana SL on my Rega P3 and my old Technics SL-1200 turntable. Hana SL is the best choice for an entry-level audiophile cartridge.
