Hana SL
Discontinued 12/31/2024
The Hana SL is the most reviewed and awarded Hana cartridge to date. It is distinguished by its black body and a Shibata stylus expertly mounted to its aluminum cantilever. The Hana SL features tighter channel balance, greater channel separation, and improved high-frequency extension.
“A first-class MC cartridge” – STEREO (Germany)
“Remarkably smooth frequency response…terrific value for the money.” – HiFi World (UK)
“In the same class as a cartridge costing 10x the price.” – TNT Audio (France)
