Product Summary
The Hana Umami Red Moving Coil Cartridge is Hana’s flagship model, designed to deliver reference-level analogue performance with exceptional precision, musicality and realism. Handmade in Japan using advanced materials and meticulous craftsmanship, it represents the very best of Hana’s cartridge engineering.
At its core is a nude microline diamond stylus mounted on a solid boron cantilever, enabling extremely accurate groove tracing and the retrieval of the finest musical detail. This results in outstanding resolution, low distortion and a highly natural, lifelike presentation across the full frequency range.
The Umami Red features a precision-machined Duralumin body with carefully tuned resonance control, combined with an Alnico magnet moving coil generator and hand-wound high-purity copper coils. This design delivers exceptional dynamics, deep, controlled bass and a wide, immersive soundstage, making it a true reference cartridge for high-end analogue systems.
