Surpassing expectations, the MK II upgrade to Hana's globally best-selling Hana S cartridges enhances both their music performance and value. Master cartridge designer Masao Okada implements a new tapered aluminum cantilever with increased rigidity, resulting in a remarkable improvement transferring groove modulation from vinyl record to the cartridge generator. The S MK II cartridges feature higher specified parts, advanced materials, and unique technical processes from Hana's higher-priced elite cartridge models, furthering the Hana "brilliant and gorgeous" sound.
Hana S Series MK II cartridges use a new tapered aluminum cantilever with higher rigidity and effective mass reduction at stylus tip, resulting in enhanced clarity and music transfer from vinyl record to cartridge generator.
Cryogenic treatment of critical parts including yoke, pole pieces and gold terminal pins, create a more natural sound.
Improved, non-resonant body shape, modeled after the Hana M Series, is damped with a matte soft feel black elastomeric resin paint and features a brass cap with threaded cartridge mounting.
The heavier S Series MK II cartridges offer better coupling with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and dynamics.
