This is the first pre-loved Umami Red we have offered, as they very rarely come back to us on the used market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey features include a beautifully machined red Duralumin body with an ebony wood insert, a solid boron cantilever, and a nude MicroLine stylus. Together, these design elements contribute to the exceptional detail, tracking ability, and musical presentation the Umami Red is known for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular cartridge is mounted on a DS Audio HS-001 headshell and has been set up using our 12-step calibration process ($390) and aligned for the Technics SL-1200G, SL-1210G, and GME. It is a true plug-and-play option for owners of these turntables, requiring no additional setup before installation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike all of our pre-loved cartridges, it has been carefully inspected under a microscope and thoroughly tested.

Ebony wood, rare-earth magnets, precision-cut diamond, high-purity copper wires, Urushi lacquering, and CNC machined Duralumin synergize under the vision of Hana designer Okada-san.\u003cbr\u003eThe synergistic relationship in MC generators between magnet, armature, and coil windings is a critical aspect of outstanding cartridge design; and like a signature dish at a Michelin 3-star restaurant, every element and detail working in concert results in a memorable and emotional experience.\u003cbr\u003eAll the major parts in a HANA-Umami Red are manufactured in house by Excel Sound with its rich history spanning over 50 years.
