Best money I ever spent was on my Hana EL...it tracks everything incredibly well, excellent build quality, a superb stylus protector, and it has alnico magnets! For a measly $475...by the way that stylus protector is an ingenious design as it supports the nuts while you tighten the cartridge screws. Delicacy, subtly, precise, warm, engaging, engrossing, involving, these are just some of my ways to describe the Hana....it is the new denon 103 in my book...
Bare cartridge design, Sumiko Blackbird Low Output
I need a cartridge to fill in while my other one is stuck up in NJ. (SS Zephyr mkiii)
I am interested in the Blackbird but I am not familiar with a bare design.
What do I need to know about this design, and does this make the cart more or less susceptible to issues such as static etc?
Thanks for the input.
