Description

“The Mk II update of our Hana S-series cartridges , global bestsellers, improves its musical performance and value.

Master cartridge designer Maseo Okada implements a new tapered aluminium cantilever with increased rigidity, resulting in a notable improvement in the transfer of the vinyl record's groove modulation to the cartridge generator.

The S series Mk II cartridges feature higher-specification parts, advanced materials and unique technical processes from Hana's higher-priced elite cartridge models, further enhancing Hana's «brilliant and gorgeous» sound.

Hana S Series Mk II cartridges use a new tapered aluminium cantilever with greater rigidity and a reduction in effective mass at the stylus tip. This results in greater clarity and enhanced music transfer from vinyl records to the cartridge generator.

The critical parts, including the yoke, pole pieces and gold-plated terminal pins, have been cryogenically treated to achieve a more natural sound.

The improved, non-resonant body shape, inspired by Hana's M series, is damped with a matt black elastomeric resin Soft Feel paint and features a brass top plate with threaded cartridge mounting fittings. The heavier Mk II cartridges offer better coupling and greater compatibility with a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and dynamics.

The SL MK II generator, found in the Umami Blue and the ML, incorporates an Alnico magnet and a cross coil that uses high-purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio, reduces the moving mass for greater resolution and tracking capability, and optimises performance for a wider range of phono stages.

    Una auténtica maravilla.

    Después de unos días escuchándola, no puedo estar más satisfecho con la compra. La Hana SL MkII ha supuesto un salto enorme respecto a la cápsula que utilizaba anteriormente.

    La tengo montada en un Audio-Technica AT-LPW40WN, pasando por un Lyritech Pinnacle Plus configurado en MC y de ahí a un Xindak XA6950 MkII, con unas Sonus faber Sonetto 3 y un REL T/7x.

    Lo que más me ha sorprendido no es simplemente que haya “más detalle”, sino la sensación de presencia y realidad de los instrumentos. La escena se abre muchísimo, los músicos aparecen perfectamente ubicados y hay una profundidad y una separación que antes no percibía de esta manera.

    En jazz es sencillamente espectacular. El piano tiene una textura y una naturalidad increíbles, pero lo que realmente me ha dejado con la boca abierta es el contrabajo: se pueden apreciar los ataques de los dedos, la cuerda, la resonancia de la caja… hasta el punto de tener la sensación de que el músico está físicamente en la sala.

    Además, todo esto aparece a niveles de escucha más bajos, algo que para mí ha sido otra de las grandes sorpresas.

    He vuelto a escuchar discos que conozco desde hace años y la sensación es literalmente la de estar descubriéndolos de nuevo.

    Una cápsula extraordinaria y, en mi caso, una mejora muchísimo mayor de lo que esperaba. Totalmente recomendable.
