Hana EL
The Hana EL opens the Japanese maker's MC lineup at the entry level. Its low 0.5 mV output needs a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The elliptical stylus runs at a rated tracking force of 2.0 g. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond calls for professional retipping.

Additional Info
The Hana EL delivers a balanced, forgiving presentation, its alloy cantilever and elliptical stylus tracing a natural, easy vocal timbre. Imaging stays precise without hardness and bass keeps taut rather than heavy, musical across a wide range of genres and gently revealing on modest systems. A dedicated MC input or step-up transformer is required. The stylus is integrated, so worn units require a retip.
