Hana SH en håndbygget high output moving coil pick-up, forsynet med en meget fin, nøgen Shibata-slebet diamant. Nålen er monteret i et meget stift nålerør i aluminum og huset er bygget i et lavresonant sort kompositmateriale. Shibata nåleslibningen på Hana SH giver bedre sporingsevne, bedre frekvensområde og bedre kanalbalance - og sikrer flere detaljer, mere præcist stereobillede og generelt mere vellyd.
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 lancere egne produkter på verdensmarkedet.
Flot anmeldelse i The Absolute Sound
"...I really liked these cartridges as they were fuss free and just got on with their job of producing great music. The low output for me was better but this doesn’t mean the high output was poor or wouldn’t be preferred by some listeners. If you only have a moving magnet input on your amp or pre amp then the high output version is a no brainer. £447 is not cheap, but for a good quality moving coil it is very good value and is the lower end of a popular choice of cartridge type for audiophiles into their vinyl. Full marks to Hana, who obviously know what they are doing, for putting their name to a range of excellent value for money cartridges for the less 'well to do' vinyl fanatic. Both cartridges work well in both budget and higher-end turntable/ arm combinations and are well worth seeking out…" Ian Ringstead, Hifi Pig Magazine
