The Hana Umami Blue, capping off an outstanding introductory year in 2023, is featured in ToneAudio's year end issue, where it was awarded the 2023 Tone Exceptional Value Award.
“...the Hana Blue and Hana Red offer such a high level of sheer performance and refinement, that they are more than worthy of a product of the year award, along with Our #toneaudioapproved award for the Blue. (the Red was purchased last year) I can't think of another pair of cartridges that we've reviewed in TONE'sI 20-year history that have offered this much performance per dollar.”
