HANA CARTRIDGES

The Vinyl Adventure have trialed these cartridges and we can state with confidence they are astounding performers for the money.

The Hana Series has been developed with significance placed on easy use and set-up, as well as high performance reproduction. Hana’s high output versions, EH and SH, supply 2mV output, so that they can be directly connected to MM phono input for vinyl reproduction.

Introducing a range of Moving Coil Cartridges from Japan – Hana – 華 (hana means “brilliant and gorgeous” in Japanese). The Hana low and high output moving coil cartridges have been winning reviewer praise and awards since their introduction to the UK.

Hana MC Phono Cartridges use high rigidity aluminum cantilevers, and cross-shaped armatures, providing a ‘brilliant and gorgeous’ sound at competitive price ranges for Moving Coil (MC) Cartridges of this quality.

Manufactured by Excel Sound Corporation, a 50 year old company based in Tokyo, who started off manufacturing low cost cartridges, such as the highly regarded Excel ES70 and by 1978 was producing MC cartridges, with particular expertise in high output MC cartridges and specializing in OEM cartridge manufacture. They are perhaps seen as one of those slightly underground Japanese companies – who certainly will not reveal which cartridge brands they have manufactured for over the years. They launched the Hana brand in 2015.

Excel Sound Corporation pride themselves on their manufacturing quality and quality controls at every stage, ensuring their handmade cartridges offer consistently perfect results. Their expertise in design and manufacturing has produced in the Hana range, some of the finest sounding and value for money cartridges on the market today in their price ranges.

The Hana MC cartridges come with two different styli designs. The high performance Hana S range “SH” and “SL” cartridges use a nude natural diamond Shibata-stylus, capable of excellent high frequency response, giving supreme transparency and excellent trackability. This comes in two output options offering either High output 2.0mv/1KHz (SH) or Low output 0.5mv/1KHz (SL). Both options are £599.00p RRP each

The lower cost E range “EH” and “EL” cartridges (same two High and Low output options as the “S” range) come with a synthetic Elliptical diamond styli, but nonetheless offer a highly competitive quality sound, referenced against similar priced cartridges and selling at £389.00p RRP.

    CLEARAUDIO VIRTUOSO V2 MM EXCHANGE CARTRIDGE

    £580.00
    Please note the exchange price means we require your old Clearaudio Virtuoso Cartridge returned to us first before we can despatch.
    PRECISION ENGINEERING IN THE PURSUIT OF THE BEST SOUND CLEARAUDIO'S V2 MM TECHNOLOGY USES EBONY AS A RESONANCERESISTANT BODY. OTHER INGREDIENTS OF THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE REDUCTION OF MOVING MASS, AN OPTIMIZED POLISHING TECHNIQUE FOR THE STYLUS AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE CARTRIDGE DAMPING. The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price point. The cartridges produce an audiophile sound of superlative quality – spatially detailed and vividly textured, with bass that does not wallow and treble that is not harsh. The models of the Clearaudio MM V2 series provide outstanding sound quality on all current tonearms. With the exception of the MM V2 Concept, which is made of aluminium, all the cartridges in this series are made with housings of hand-polished ebony – the key to record-breaking weight values.

    DS Audio Vinyl Ionizer

    £1,749.95
    The ION-001 is a very high-power device, equipped with a total of 4 ionizers, 2 each for positive and negative ions. The ION-001 utilizes a specialized power supply controller which suppresses the generation of excess ozone, preventing unwanted oxidation. Vinyl records have a surface static electricity charge created by friction. Two common sources of that friction is stylus drag as well as simply removing records from their jacket and sleeve. The ION-001 effectively neutralizes and removes static electricity and our unique "fan less" design allows for silent operation. Simply position the ION-001 next to your turntable and switch on when playing an LP.

Chasing The Dragon’s first “Direct Cut” album was of the Interpreti Veneziani performing a wonderful version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. When chatting with Paolo, the orchestra’s organizer, CTD discovered the group had never taken part in a ‘live’ recording. They have always performed in the San Vidal Church which is in the Academia area of Venice. The acoustics in the church are outstanding. So after some discussion with the orchestra, they were convinced to record a live double album there. This would mean that a small crew would have to go to Venice and record 5 live concerts. It’s a dirty job, but somebody had to do it! The jump factor of this album really has to be heard!
