Hana Umami Red Phono Cartridge

The Umami Red is Hana's established flagship below the Umami Black, combining an ebony wood body, rare-earth magnets, a precision-cut diamond stylus, and high-purity copper coil wire with a hand-applied Urushi lacquer finish over a CNC-machined Duralumin structure.

It is made in-house and hand-assembled by Excel Sound, the Japanese manufacturer behind Hana.

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.
