“Throw in a spirited mono cartridge, like Hana’s new SL Mono MK II, and you’ll be living like Frank Sinatra. Highly recommended.”

"The Umami Red’s excellent balance allows you to enjoy all types of music, and you will be driven to play many different types of music to fully experience this cartridge. It does a very nice job of retrieving detail and is excellent at rendering complex overtones.
Another thing that stands out with this cartridge is its ability to maintain its poise. No matter what groove I threw at it, it remained calm and never showed its teeth."
