“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.”

Fans of moving coil cartridges know Hana, even if you think you don’t, you probably do. Hana is the in-house, export-only brand of a cartridge manufacturer known as the Excel Corporation. Excel has manufactured phono cartridges in Japan since 1970, primarily for other brands. Some familiar names in phono cartridges currently manufactured by Excel include the likes of Etsuro Urushi and Sumiko.

- The word “umami” is a fifth taste element (beyond sweet, sour, salty, and bitter) resulting from a perfect combination of the right ingredients and savoury deliciousness. The Umami Red is deliciously enjoyable. Colour me impressed.

- "This cartridge slips neatly into the high-end pick-up scene, striking an excellent balance between the rose-tinted lushness of some 'traditional' MCs and the cooler analysis of high-tech groove diggers, blending the depth and detail of the latter with a touch more warmth."
