Last week I did something I have never done before. While checking the alignment, I broke the cantilever on my Ortofon Quintet red cartridge. This week, I have a Hana SL. I did not plan on buying a cartridge at this time, since I had just purchased a Benchmark AHB2 amp three months ago.
While it is an improvement over the Ortofon it’s still too new to talk about the differences.
One dealer had told me that the Hana is the best cartridge under $1000. Another dealer recommended it over a couple of cartridges that I had been considering, the Dynavector 10x5, and the Denon 103.
