Hana Cartridges

‘Hana’ is the brand name of Excel Sound Corporation’s (Japan) range of Moving Coil (MC) cartridges.  Excel have been designing and manufacturing cartridges for almost 50 years, they have a deep understanding of MC cartridge design and in-house manufacture.  The Hana cartridge ranges have been developed with significance placed on ease of set-up and use, together with very high performance reproduction and keen pricing.

The Hana ‘tag line’ is ‘brilliant and gorgeous’, this is upheld throughout the ranges, all offering a level of musicality rarely achieved at each of their product price points.  Not surprising then, that all these Hana cartridge options have won much praise, with outstanding reviews and many awards in magazines and on-line review sites around the world.

The Hana E, S and M cartridge ranges all have high output and low output options, the high output options allowing an easy upgrade to a moving coil cartridge if you have a moving magnet only phono stage.  

The Hana ‘Umami’ cartridge range offers two low output MC high end cartridge options, both having excellent price/performance ratios, offering that elusive very high end sound quality available from vinyl replay without ‘breaking the bank’.

There are around sixty Hana Distributors world-wide selling into many Hi-Fi Dealerships in each Country, your local Hi-Fi Dealer will most likely be one of these. Do check out your Countries local Hana Distributor website to find the closest Hana Dealer in your area, they are all shown on the manufacturer’s website below.
