Following is its conclusion.

THE VERDICT I came away most impressed with Hana’s new Mk II versions of the SL and SH. Both sound dynamic, detailed and musical – and offer an alluring musicality that’s the hallmark of good moving coil cartridges. This magic quality is extremely rare in moving magnets of any price, by the way. I’d say the value choice is the low-output SL, which is an excellent performer, providing you have a phono stage that’s suitable for low-output moving coils. The SH is always there if your phono stage has no MC input, saving you the cost of an additional step-up device. Both are well worth an audition if you’re in the market for a little piece of budget esoterica. (Applause Award) !!
