Product Summary
The Hana EH Moving Coil Cartridge is a high-output MC design created for vinyl listeners who want to step into moving coil performance without changing their existing system. Handmade in Japan, it delivers a refined, dynamic and highly musical presentation while remaining compatible with standard moving magnet phono stages.
Fitted with a precision elliptical diamond stylus and a high-rigidity aluminium cantilever, the EH tracks records with excellent stability and control. Its cross-coil generator design helps produce strong dynamics, clean bass and an engaging overall sound, making it a noticeable upgrade from typical entry-level cartridges.
With its higher output level, the Hana EH can be used directly into MM phono inputs, making it a straightforward upgrade path for a wide range of turntables and amplifiers. It is an ideal choice for listeners who want the benefits of moving coil sound without the need for specialist MC amplification.
