The HANA ML cartridge is the result of the evolution of the renowned “Brilliant and Gorgeous” sound quality that has made HANA famous worldwide, aiming to deliver high-level performance at an accessible standard while capturing every musical detail with precision and musicality.
The M Series Nude Microline stylus is designed to mimic the mastering stylus, fitting with extreme accuracy into the vinyl groove. This ensures precise and faithful tracking, capable of reproducing the most delicate musical nuances, enhancing frequency response, stereo separation, and overall definition.
The coil wire is made of ultra-high-purity copper and wound onto a low-impedance generator optimized for performance, providing wide compatibility with various phono preamps and delivering consistent, detailed reproduction across the entire audio spectrum.
The cartridge body is made from Delrin©, a technologically advanced polymer with optimized mechanical properties to damp unwanted resonance. This design choice allows low-level information to emerge and expands the dynamic range, ensuring a transparent and natural sound.
Cryogenic treatment is applied to the main parts of the Alnico-based magnetic generator, including the front yoke and central and rear components, restructuring the metal at a molecular level. The result is a more stable and linear magnetic field, enhancing signal precision and improving overall musical quality.
The Delrin© body integrates a machined brass cap and threaded fittings, contributing to mechanical damping and structural rigidity. The additional 9.5-gram weight increases compatibility with a wider range of tonearms and turntables, while the threaded mounting holes provide a secure and stable connection to the headshell, improving bass response and overall dynamic performance.
