"The SUPATRAC lives up to it's name by letting every cartridge navigate even the toughest records with ease, while maintaining an unsurpassed level of focus and clarity."

"The Hana Umami Black MC Cartridge isn’t designed to sound excellent for the money, or to sound like cartridges that cost far more. It’s a statement piece from a highly respected and popular cartridge manufacturer, and it shows what is still possible in the realm of analog playback. Highly recommended."

"From an audiophile perspective, the Umami Black delivers organic tonal balance that rewards careful listening"

"The Hana SH MkII is an excellent addition to the cartridge line-up and goes to the head of the class for cartridges at its price. I really can’t think of anything better in its category."

“ …the Black sounded surprisingly extraordinary in the areas of palpable instrumental/vocal timbre, transparency, speed, and clarity right out of the box.”
