Lyra Delos or Hana ML


Has anyone compared these 2 phono cartridges?  I was set on buying the Hana but now I'm seeing reviews where the Delos is a better option (albeit a much more costly one).  I can't afford the Umami..  My arm is a REGA RB2000 on a SOTA Star table (Pass Aleph ono for the phono stage) .  The tonearm has mediium mass, I'm told.  Would prefer something on the more rich, lush side (isn't that what analog is all about?).

Hana is susceptible to a noise issue due to the design. it is an internal wiring thing. The Hana can sound extortionary with the proper phonostage.

The Delos is my choice, it works well on my R&R vinyl.
