BRILLIANT AND GORGEOUS
Tokyo’s Excel Sound Corporation cartridges epitomize exceptional performance and value. Hana translates to “brilliant and gorgeous” and their cartridges use Excel’s best materials including alnico magnets, cross-shaped armatures, and proprietary manufacturing processes.
Hana cartridges are available in two series with your choice of low (L) or (H) high output:
The Hana E Series with its distinctive moss green body and Elliptical stylus are the ideal way to upgrade from “starter” cartridges featuring a sophisticated generator providing true moving coil sound.
The Hana S-Series Shibata cartridges offer authentic high-end performance. Hana’s latest Microline cartridges fit more precisely into the vinyl groove, enhancing tracking to capture the most delicate musical details with better frequency reproduction, stereo imaging, and resolution.
The high-tech Delrin cartridge body features threaded fittings and Brass Cap for a superior mechanical interface and 9.5g weight for expanded compatibility with a wider range of tonearms.
