When I saw the title of your post I was going to suggest you save yourself a little money and get a Hana SL. I have one and am very pleased with it. It comes really close to the $2,000 Van Den Hul MC Two I have on my main turntable. I love my Hana SL and know a couple of friends with one and have only heard good things about it. If you love the EL, the SL or ML should definitely be on your short list.
Looking for mc cartridge in $1000-$1500 range.
Considering an EAT Jo no. 5 or Hana ML. I’m using a Hana EL in a second system, and really love it.
Recommendations?
main system:
Oracle Delphi Mk V, with SME 309 arm
EAR 834P phono pre (sut input for mc, followed by tubes)
Cary SLP-05 pre
Pass Labs XA 60.5 amps
Golden Ear Triton One speakers
Kimber and other high end silver interconnects
Acoustic Zen spkr cable.
25 x15 x 10 mostly open room
