www.audiosolutions.net.au2 reviews for HANA Umami RED MC Cartridge Low Output
-
“This journey began with the MC pickups “E” and “S” for 450 and 650 Euros respectively, each of which is available in a classic “L”ow and as a “H”igh output variant intended for phono MM inputs.”
-
“It may appear to be very much in the vein of traditional high-end Japanese cartridges, but there’s a twist – it’s a half-open design, with its generator outside in the open air. It’s not quite a Lyra lookalike but is closer to such a thing than a Koetsu.”
