Another 5 star review and recommendation award for the very affordable Hana MC cartridges has been published.

Neville Roberts, Hi-Fi Choice (UK) reviewing Hana SH/SL:

"...starting with Elgar’s Enigma Variations with Vernon Handley conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra. My initial impressions are great. The sound of the violins achieves the perfect balance of being both bright and lively, yet smooth, which is certainly a tricky thing to get right. The overall performance is very good indeed... to check out how the Hana-SL handles female vocals, I play Barbra Streisand’s 'You Don’t Bring Me Flowers'. The song is brilliantly conveyed in the opening section and as the song progresses there’s no trace of brashness to her voice, just soaring energy. The Hana-SL gives a really sophisticated performance, which is very involving and refined... Both (Hana-SL & Hana-SH) are superb cartridges and are strong challengers to rival big-name brands at the price..."
