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.
