Hana SH Classic MC Cartridge

The cartridge that built Hana's reputation: a Shibata-tipped moving coil wound for high output, so it runs from any standard MM phono input. No MC stage, no step-up transformer, no new hardware anywhere in the chain.

That makes it the least painful way into real MC sound — swap the cartridge, set alignment and tracking force, done. The Shibata tip reads high frequencies and inner grooves noticeably better than the elliptical carts most turntables ship with.

Half-inch mount, so it fits any conventional headshell — and none of the fixed-cartridge automatics. Give it a careful setup; Shibata profiles reward alignment.
