THE ABSOLUTE SOUND

2023 Phono Cartridge of the Year

HANA Umami Blue

“…superb micro- and macro-dynamics that comfortably compete with cartridges at any price point.”

“The Blue also adds a surprising level of transparency embedded in the grooves, preserving harmonic content and speedy note transitions with uncanny ease.”

“With the Blue, Hana has set another baseline of performance-for-cost, even against competitors in the upper four-digit range.”
