Stereophile liked the Hana EL cartridge enough to give it a Class B Recommended Components rating.

The entire line up got a thumbs up from Andre Jennings in the Feb 2017 issue of TAS but he picked out the SL (0.5mV output) as the pick of the bunch.

I'm interested in the feedback. I find it's the right spot for cartridge in terms of price.

My local shop is introducing the Hana line and will be demoing the SL this weekend. I think it might be interesting to see if one of the Hanas will be a good upgrade or overkill for my lower end music hall turntable and if one of the higher output models will work well with my MA-6600.
