Overview

The Hana SL and SH models, distinguished by their black body, provide tighter channel balance, greater channel separation, and improved high-frequency extension compared to their EH and EL counterparts. The SL and SH models also feature an upgraded Shibata stylus.

Hana cartridges by Excel represent the best materials, including alnico magnets, cross-shaped armatures, and proprietary manufacturing processes. Hana has excelled at creating MC cartridges noted worldwide for their sound and value, which retain their "musical magic" regardless of their phono stage pairing.

Top Quality Shibata Tipped Cartridge

Right out of the package, this Hana Shibata tipped Cartridge sounded fantastic! This was my first Low Output Moving Coil phono cartridge, so I didn't know what to expect. I must say I was impressed as soon as the stylus hit the groove. It's well balanced and has a "Life Like" sound that's totally satisfying. I did sample the more expensive Micro Line Hana but my ears tell me they sound almost identical. Based on this, I'd recommend the Shibata tipped cartridge, save some Cash and buy more LP's. You can't go wrong with either of these Hana Gems!!!
