Unlike the original Hana SL, the new MK II has a lower internal impedance, which means you can use a 1:20 step-up transformer (same as used on the ML and Umamis) instead of the 1:10 step-up ratio used with the original SL.
 
The Hana S Series MK II cartridges use a new tapered aluminum cantilever with higher rigidity and effective mass reduction at stylus tip, resulting in enhanced clarity and music transfer from vinyl record to cartridge generator.
 
Improved, non-resonant body shape, modeled after the Hana M Series, is damped with a matte soft feel black elastomeric resin paint and features a brass cap with threaded cartridge mounting.
The heavier S Series MK II cartridges offer better coupling with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tonearms, improving bass and dynamics.
 
The SL MK II generator, as found on the Umami Blue and ML, incorporates an alnico magnet with a cross-coil using fewer windings of high-purity 30-micron copper wire. This improves signal to noise, reduced moving mass for high resolution and trackability, and optimizes performance for a broader ranger of phono stages.
