Hana EH en håndbygget high output moving coil pick-up med elliptisk nåleslibning. Nålen er monteret i et meget stift nålerør i aluminum, og huset er bygget i et lavresonant kompositmateriale i en afdæmpet mosgrøn farve.
Hana EH har en meget musikalsk gengivelse med fylde og charme.
Hana EH har en udgangsspænding på 2 mv og kan benyttes til næsten alle almindelige MM phono indgange.
Hana pick-up’erne produceres af Excel Sound Coorporation, en 50 år gammel virksomhed fra Tokyo, der mest er kendt som OEM-producent af high-end pick-up’er og tonearme. Efter bedste japanske tradition oplyser man dog intet om, hvilke firmaer man producerer for.
Hana er en ny produktserie, hvor man bruger sin mangeårige erfaring til at producere sin egen serie pick-up’er.
Anmeldelse i Witchdoctor New Zealand
"...there's a sense of swings and roundabouts in terms of the EH and EL versions of the Hana cartridges. I felt that the EH provided a slightly more accurate and tonally tad more exciting performance in how the detail was extracted from the master. The EL, with its' small measure of warmth gave the music a more forgiving nature. In effect, you could say that the EL looks at the bigger picture. Rather than focusing upon specifics, it offers a possibly more engaging and flowing performance..."
"...both these moving-coil cartridges performed well and they bring genuine advantages to any listening session at a low, low price. Terrific value for the money then..."Paul Rigby, Hi-Fi World
The EH was a pleasure to listen to over long periods, higher notes play a little softer compared to my reference (Transfiguration Axia) and the Hana sounds warmer. The midrange has a rich sound, good definition and delivers both voices and instruments to a commensurate standard … The sound is shapely and organic with deep involvement … Where other cartridges are sometimes too cold this delivers a big instrument in a large concert hall with slowly decaying harmonics. The hall acoustics are easily recognizable, a result that surprises me in a cartridge of this price as does the way the Hana behaves so well. The EAR.net
