HANA Umami Blue Phono MC Cartridge

HANA Umami Blue Phono MC Cartridge

The HANA-Umami Blue high-end moving coil cartridge from Excel Sound’s Master cartridge designer Maseo Okada-san uses special materials, classic Japanese techniques, and modern audio engineering.
OVERVIEW

The HANA-Umami Blue cartridge follows in the Hana “Brilliant and Gorgeous” tradition of providing the listener with sublime enjoyment. Embodying the true sense of synergy, the HANA-Umami Blue combines the essential ingredients of the HANA-Umami Red with the ALNICO based generator of the HANA ML.

FEATURES

The HANA-Umami Blue incorporates the Auricle™ body design, unique and exclusive to our Umami series. CNC machined from Duraluminum, it uses a special Melamine Thermosetting Process (MTP), enameling the body with a brilliant blue glossy finish. Sharing other key Umami Red ingredients, including the precision-cut Microline diamond stylus, Boron cantilever, and high-purity copper wires, the Umami Blue synergizes these specialized parts with the ALNICO magnet-based generator used in the Hana ML.

  • “Auricle” open-air body design machined from Duraluminum A7075
  • MTP enameled finish with POM inlay
  • Microline stylus with Boron cantilever
  • ALNICO (aluminum / nickel / copper) magnet
  • Cross-coil core with high purity copper coils
  • 8Ω Coil impedance with .4mV output
  • Cryogenic treatment of key generator parts and output pins
