The Hana SL is the most reviewed and awarded Hana cartridge to date. It is distinguished by its black body and a Shibata stylus expertly mounted to its aluminum cantilever. The Hana SL features tighter channel balance, greater channel separation, and improved high-frequency extension.

Remarkably smooth frequency response...terrific value for the money.

In the same class as a cartridge costing 10x the price.

My favorite cartridge.

I've tried several different carts at this price point, and just like the way the SL reproduces music the best. Paired with an nclayton SUT and my tubed Budgie phono preamp, I'm done tweaking that part of my system. Elusive Disc's packing and shipping were excellent, look forward to buying another SL from them when the time comes.

Hana SL MC phono cartridge

Wonderful phono cartridge! I purchased the Hana after reading many positive reviews and I’m not disappointed whatsoever. I was previously using a Denon DL-103 mc cartridge I was very pleased with. The Hana is superior in every way. Bass is nice and tight and the high end is very crisp and clean. I’m still breaking it in so I expect things to get even better with time. Great value for the money!
