The S Series MKII was the first to incorporate many of these innovations, now featured in the E Series MK II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe “E” stands for elliptical, referencing the diamond stylus pro-file featured in the E series. Retaining the classic Alnico magnet that contributes to Hana’s rich musicality, the MK II versions incorporate numerous refinements for superior sonic performance.From the M Series, the updated body design with its brass cap, adds mass for improved vibration control while providing threaded mounting for easier tonearm installation. Shared with the Umami Series and entire Hana range, critical generator components and output pins are cryogenically treated to enhance conductivity and signal purity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe updated coil winding design with 8-ohm impedance̶first developed for the ML and incorporated in the SL MKII models̶is now featured in the EL MK II, creating a more ideal interface with moving coil phono stages. Echoing the entire Hana range, the E Series MK II body is finished with an elastomeric coating, enhancing resonance control while elevating its appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eFounded in 1970 by Masao Okada-san, Japan’s Excel Sound is one of the world’s premier phono cartridge design and manufacturing companies. Based in Yokohama, its skilled artisans handcraft every model, from the flagship Umami Black to the new E Series MK II. By combining the essential musicality of the original E Series with proven advancements drawn from both the M Series and Umami models, the new E Series MK II embodies Hana’s next chapter of Evolutionary Brilliance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-6 span-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv
