Description


The synergistic relationship in MC generators between magnet, armature, and coil windings is a critical aspect of outstanding cartridge design; and like a signature dish at a Michelin 3-star restaurant, every element and detail working in concert results in a memorable and emotional experience.

All the major parts in a HANA-Umami Red are manufactured in house by Excel Sound with its rich history spanning over 50 years. Excel’s highly trained craftsmen skillfully hand assemble the HANA-Umami Red ensuring an intensely musical experience furthering the HANA “Brilliant and Gorgeous” sound quality.

Umami Sound - Wonderful Taste in Music

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!
