Introducing a new line from Japan, 華 (or hana, which means “brilliant and gorgeous” in the original Japanese).
HANA Phono Cartridges use high rigidity aluminum cantilevers, and cross-shaped armatures, providing you with brilliant and gorgeous sound. Hana “SH” and “SL” use nude natural diamond Shibata-stylus, capable of excellent high frequency response, giving you supreme transparency and excellent trackability. Hana cartridges are produced by Excel Sound Corporation of Tokyo Japan, a long time OEM cartridge producer.
The retail price of the SH and SL is $650 USD. The EH and EL is $400 USD.

The Hana Series has been developed with significance placed on easy use and set-up, as well as high performance reproduction. Hana’s high output versions, EH and SH, supply 2mV output, so that they can be directly connected to MM phono input for vinyl reproduction.
Element Acoustics is the exlusive dealer of HANA in Canada.
