Angeboten wird „NEUES MODELL!! SL MkII / SH MkII / SL Mono MkII - MC Moving Coil Tonabnehmer“ von Hana als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Tonabnehmer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4002298150 endet am 25.09.2026 um 06:45 Uhr.
Compared with a typical used alternative, this at €749 is a strong deal: it sits well below your €683 25th percentile? Wait—your anchor says the 25th percentile is €683, so this listing is actually above that threshold but still far under the €2,156 median and the €3,030 75th percentile, which makes it look cheap-to-fair rather than bargain-bin. On pure market positioning, it is an easy price to respect.
What makes it worth a look is that this Hana moving-coil family has a good reputation for musicality, clean tracking, and low-mass arm compatibility, so a well-kept sample can be a very satisfying everyday cartridge. If it’s truly new/unused and includes the stylus assembly and original packaging, the upside is mostly in saving a lot versus the broader used market while getting a cartridge people buy for long-term listening rather than specs-chasing.

Hana Cartridges emerged in 2016 from Excel Sound Corporation, a Tokyo-based firm with over 50 years of expertise in analog audio reproduction. Handcrafted in Yokohama, Japan, by skilled artisans under the guidance of master designer Masao Okada, the brand draws on traditional Japanese precision. The name "Hana," meaning "brilliant and gorgeous" in Japanese, reflects its heritage of meticulous assembly and laboratory testing at the factory, blending time-honored craftsmanship with modern engineering.
The brand specializes exclusively in moving coil phono cartridges, offering a focused lineup across series like E (elliptical), S (Shibata), M (microline), and premium Umami models with nude diamond or Urushi finishes. Configurations include high- and low-output variants, from entry-level EL/EH and SL/SH pairs to flagship MH/ML and the $3,950 Umami Red, all optimized for vinyl playback with options for mono and stereo tracking.
Hana holds a strong mid-tier position in the high-end phono cartridge market, celebrated for exceptional value, articulate detail, dynamic range, and musical warmth. Reviewers and audiophiles praise their "brilliant and gorgeous" sound—punchy yet refined—positioning them as accessible gateways to elite analog performance without stratospheric pricing, rivaling pricier competitors while appealing to discerning vinyl enthusiasts worldwide.
