{"product_id":"hana-sl-mk2-1","title":"Hana SL mk2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new SL MK II has upgrades to enhance both the musical performance, and also to offer greater value at the S Series price point.  A new tapered Aluminum cantilever with increased rigidity offers a remarkable improvement in transferring groove modulation from the vinyl record to the cartridge generator. The S Series Mk II indeed features many higher specified parts, advanced materials, and unique technical processes, drawn from Hana’s higher-priced elite cartridge models, furthering the Hana “brilliant and gorgeous” sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritical parts, including the Yoke, Pole-pieces, and gold Terminal pins are cryogenically treated for a more natural sound. An 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 top cap plus integral threaded mounting of cartridge.  The heavier Mk II cartridge offers better coupling, improving bass and dynamics; and with expanded compatibility to a wider range of tonearms. The SL MK II generator, is as found in the Umami Blue and ML; incorporating an Alnico magnet and cross-coil design, using high purity 30-micron copper wire with an 8Ω impedance, for improved signal to noise, and reduction of moving mass. These improved design features offer higher resolution and traceability, optimizing performance for a broader range of phono stages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53880336318791,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/7605\/2551\/files\/Hana-Mk2-SL_34d4df7e-d929-4885-b1af-1cf37114788f.webp?v=1778245068","url":"https:\/\/cheshireaudio.co.uk\/products\/hana-sl-mk2-1","provider":"Cheshire Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
