Hana Cartridge for MMF-7 ?

Have an MMF-7 and have opportunity to obtain a Hana MC cartridge: Either The “E” or “S”
series, in either “Low” or “Hi” output versions .

Anyone have experience with this? 

Opinions on compatibility of the TT and arm with these Hana cartridges?

Whether TT and arm quiet enough for a Low Output?

Only interested in whether this combo works, not suggestions for other cartridges.

Thanks!

Agreed. I'm running one now on my VPI HW-19 Mark 4 using an LFD LE phono pre that puts out 53 dB of gain. Plenty of gain on that

Hi William,  I'm wondering how your MMF7 did with the Hana? I have an original MMF7 with the aluminum tonearm. I'm considering the EL or SL. Any observations or details are appreciated. Thank you, Chris

It's a great match. I use a 1:10 SUT plus the Cary SLP-98

The SL is a good cartridge. If you could swing for the ML, even better. It requires a 100 ohm load.
