Better Brilliance

The Hana SL MK II is an upgrade to the popular Hana S series cartridges, offering enhanced musical performance and value. Designed by master cartridge expert Masao Okada-san, this new version features a tapered aluminium cantilever with increased rigidity, improving the transfer of groove modulation from the vinyl to the cartridge generator. The S Series MK II benefits from higher quality components, advanced materials, and techniques derived from Hana’s more expensive models, resulting in the brand's signature "brilliant and gorgeous" sound.

Superior Build and Compatibility

The Hana S Series MK II cartridges incorporate a rigid tapered aluminium cantilever that reduces mass at the stylus tip, ensuring greater clarity and improved music transfer. Key components such as the Yoke, Pole-pieces, and gold terminal pins undergo cryogenic treatment for a more natural sound. The non-resonant body, inspired by the Hana M Series, is coated in matte Soft Feel Black elastomeric resin and equipped with a brass cap. This updated design enhances compatibility with a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and dynamics. The SL MK II generator, which uses an Alnico magnet and high-purity copper wire, optimises performance across a variety of phono stages, offering better signal-to-noise ratio, resolution, and trackability.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
