High Purity Copper Wire – Higher specification part

High-purity copper wire is used to wind the ML coil with a new low-impedance generator for optimized performance with a wider range of phono preamps

Delrin© cartridge body – Advanced Materials

The M Series cartridge body is injection molded from Delrin©, a high-tech polymer with improved mechanical characteristics for better resonance damping, to reveal more low-level information and enhance dynamic range.

Cryogenic Processing - Unique Technical Treatment

Cryogenic processing is Cold Annealing at near absolute zero temperature that restructures metals at the molecular level, especially important in the Alnico-based magnetic electro-motive circuit (cartridge signal generator). The M Series parts treated include the front yoke as well as the center and rear components. The result is a more precise and controlled magnetic flux field for greater linearity and musical sound quality.

Brass Cap with Threaded fittings - Superior Mechanical Interface

The Delrin© cartridge body features a machined brass cap providing constrained mode layer damping and its heavier 9.5 gram weight provides expanded compatibility with a wider range of tonearms and turntables.

Built into the M Series Delrin© cartridge body are metal threaded fittings for headshell mounting hardware, offering easier attachment and a superior mechanical interface for better bass and dynamics.

HANA means “brilliant and gorgeous” in the Japanese language, “華”   Moving coil cartridges by HANA, bestow the most “brilliant and gorgeous” analog sound for audiophiles and music lovers regardless of their budget. 
Handmade in Japan

Exceptional quality assured

HANA phono cartridges are made of delicate parts, carefully assembled by hand by skilled craftsmen and laboratory tested in the Japanese factory. This ensures both very high reliability and durability and ensures years of musical enjoyment.

Origin of HANA

In 2015, I had the great fortune to re-meet Masao Okada-san, founder of Excel Sound, whom I had known for almost 40 years. With the renewed interest in LP playback, Okada-san developed the HANA moving coil cartridge line for our exclusive exports. We are privileged to be partners with Excel Sound and without our long-standing friendship, HANA moving-coil cartridges would never have been launched.
The “brilliant and beautiful” sound of HANA is now available to all music lovers worldwide, without a extreme financial burden on your equipment budget. With a HANA purchase you can indeed buy more of your favorite vinyl records - which is the real reason to buy a good phono cartridge in the first place!
