Review from our customer:
I haven’t directly compared more costly cartridges on the same arm and on the same table with the ML as I don’t feel like removing the ML after installation on the Brinkmann Balance and 12.1 inch arm I recently acquired.
It is very musical with a sense of ease in delivery. I have tried with different music genres and I find it can play them all. I like the human voice(very very good), its even handedness throughout the frequencies. I don’t know how much this is the result of the table and arm or the catridge. But they play very well together.
I also have the cheaper SL. Very musical as well but does not have the details and the frequency extension of the ML. All in all, I am happy to live with it. I don’t have to worry about wearing out the stylus too soon.

Hana has a growing reputation for quality of design. No matter what price point it decides to tackle, it tends to provide a value for money product because it tends to give you more than the competition at that particular point. For the ML that meant a sense of clarity and insight that allowed detail to be picked out from the subtle recesses of the mix. A trick often reserved for rarified high-end designs. That’s the quality of the Hana ML.

The sound was big and bold on a Gershwin album and seductive on female vocals. I thought I was listening to a much more expensive cartridge, which makes the Hana ML a great value - Jim Hannon

Hifi world (Jan 2019)
The Hana ML was wonderfully insightful, had tonal poise and good firm bass ... placing it ahead of most else .... At the price, this is a great moving coil, well worth buying.
Hifi Choice (Mar 2019):
The ML is energetic and lively, and avoids listening fatigue even on poorer pressings..... its considerable charms take very little time to grow on you.
Retail price: S$1,500
We provide on-site installation service and can further bring out more potential with our accumulated experiences.
Features:
M Series Nude Microline stylus – Higher Specification Part:
Befitting its name, the M Series uses a Nude Microline stylus, mimicking the cutting stylus and fitting more precisely into the vinyl groove. This enhances tracking to capture the most delicate musical details with better frequency reproduction, stereo imaging, and resolution.
High Purity copper wire – Higher Specification Part:
Very high-purity copper wire is used for winding the M Series moving coils, offering greater clarity of sound for both low output ML and high output MH models. The ML features a new low impedance generator for optimized performance with a broader range of phono preamps
Delrin© cartridge body – Advanced Materials:
The M Series cartridge body is injection molded from Delrin©, a high tech polymer with improved mechanical characteristics for better resonance damping, to reveal more low level information and enhance dynamic range.
Cryogenic Processing - Unique Technical Treatment:
Cryogenic processing is Cold Annealing at near absolute zero temperature that restructures metals at the molecular level. Especially important in the Alnico based magnetic electro-motive circuit (cartridge signal generator). The M Series parts treated include the front yoke as well as center and rear components. The result is a more precise and controlled magnetic flux field for greater linearity and musical sound quality.
Threaded fittings and Brass Cap - Superior Mechanical Interface:
Built into the M Series Delrin© cartridge body are metal threaded fittings for headshell mounting hardware, offering easier attachment and a superior mechanical interface for better bass and dynamics.
The Delrin© cartridge body also features an integral machined brass cap providing constrained mode layer damping and its heavier 9.5 gram weight provides expanded compatibility with a wider range of tonearms and turntables.
Hana has now reached a new dawn for brilliance with the M series deluxe model moving coil cartridges. The Hana M Series options represent the further evolution of the "Brilliant and Gorgeous" quality that has earned Hana its worldwide reputation as they aspire towards affordable perfection!
