“I could live with the Hana... If tomorrow all the other cartridges I had disappeared I would be quite happy to continue listening. I wouldn't feel short-changed, and though I might miss certain things they wouldn't 'bother' me so much. No other cartridge under 1500 Euro has passed this test. That the Hana is well below this limit is quite an achievement.”

My initial impressions are great. The sound of the violins achieves the perfect balance of being both bright and lively, yet smooth, which is a ricky thing to get right. I leave the cartridge playing for a couple of hours ... and then listen to the ame piece again. There is a big improvement and the bass in now asserting itself..... To check out how the Hana SL handles female vocals, I play Barbra Streisand's 'You Dont Bring Me Flowers'. The song is brilliantly conveyed in the opening section and as the song progresses there's no trace of brashness to her voice. The Hana SL gives a really sphisticated performance, which is very involving and refined.
Both [SH and SL] are superb cartridges and are strong challengers to rival big-name brands at the price.

“Meet the Hana twins...a pair of moving coil cartridges from Japan that can be yours at an exceptionally low price. Paul Rigby is smitten by their charms.”
CONCLUSION- EL
...you could say the EL looks at the bigger picture. Rather than focusing upon specifics, it offers a possibly more engaging and flowing performance. Both these [EL and EH] moving coil cartridges performed well and they bring genuine advantages to any listening session at a low, low price. Terrific value for money.
VALUE: keenly priced
FOR: musical engagement; romantic mids; bass; value for money
AGAINST: nothing at the price
CONCLUSION- EH
...the EH provided a slightly more accurate and tonally tad more exciting performance in how detail was extracted from the master [than the EL].
