Hana ML Phono Cartridge

The ML and MH extend Hana's M Series, which Hana frames as affordable perfection within its broader sound philosophy.

They use a Nude Microline stylus designed to mimic the cutting stylus used in mastering, for better frequency reproduction, imaging, and resolution, paired with a high-purity copper coil winding, the same low-impedance generator later used in the Umami Blue. The body is injection-molded Delrin chosen for resonance damping, with a machined brass cap for added damping, and the Alnico-based magnetic circuit undergoes a cryogenic cold-annealing treatment for more linear magnetic flux.

Low output version.

Moving coil design with no field-replaceable stylus; a worn cartridge is sent to a third-party retip service rather than swapped like a moving magnet stylus.
