"When comparing the Hana to other cartridges, the Hana gives me the clarity of the Sumiko Talisman S and Talisman A, and more clarity than the Grado Platinum. The Hana has almost as much bass extension as the Grado Platinum and more bass than the Sumiko Talisman S and Talisman A. Surface noise is kept to a minimum similar to the Grado Platinum. Although the hum on my Grado was very minimal, the Hana had no hum or noise at all. I compared the Hana to an Ortofon MC-1 Turbo high output moving coil phono cartridge ($240). The Ortofon sounded similar and had a little better bass, however, the Hana was better in just about every other category. I recently bought the new Sumiko Rainier cartridge ($150) on a whim, which is a fine cartridge for the price. I felt it was a huge step down from the Hana. While in its own way the Rainier is a good cartridge, it did not connect me to the music the way the Hana would. I put a Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge ($125) on another turntable that I own and found this cartridge was not as engaging either with a sound similar to the Rainier. I know using another turntable with the Nagaoka is not a fair comparison, however, this is what I heard." Dagogo
