Hana is helping to kick off the month of March in the exact right way by announcing their new Umami Blue cartridge, which follows in the fine moving-coil footsteps (so to speak) of their vaunted Umami cartridge series.
The Hana Umami Blue high-end moving-coil (MC) cartridge comes from Excel Sound’s master cartridge designer, Maseo Okada. According to Hana, the Umami Blue “combines the essential ingredients of the Hana Umami Red with the Alnico-based generator of the Hana ML.” The Umami Blue also incorporates the Auricle body design that’s exclusive to the Umami series.
The Umami Blue’s body features a white POM inlay on its front facia to provide damping properties, and it’s said to act in homage to the aforementioned Hana ML, the company’s first cartridge to use a POM body. Tapped and threaded mounting holes in the Auricle body are further said to “assure secure attachment to the tonearm.”
A special Melamine Thermosetting Process (MTP) is used to enamel the Umami Blue’s body — which is CNC-machined from Duraluminum — with a brilliant blue glossy finish. The Umami Blue also shares other key Umami Red elements, including a precision-cut Microline Nude diamond stylus, Boron cantilever, and high-purity copper wires.
