When I decided to changed my phono stage a year ago, I have similar requirement like you, it must have true balance output, and I need multiple input, flexibility of input impedance and gain control, because my Van Den Hul Black Beauty MC cartridge seems to sounding better with higher impedance such as 500 or 1K ohms, with my limited budget, I finally settle for the Gold Note PH-10 with PSU-10 Power supply. The PH-10 alone is performing well for what it asked for, but adding the PSU-10 really makes the PH-10 improved to another level.
With 1k ohms of input impedance, the VDH tonal balance, coherence, extension at both ends are much better than what I experience with this cartridge before! Other than the VDH cartridge, it does sound well with my other cartridge such as Supex, Dynavector, Ortofon, Technics MM series, SAEC and many others. Changing impedance and gain level is extremely easy, just rotate the knob and press it, the LCD screen will show all the info, no need to guess or flipping the manual to confirm!
If you just need ONE input with balance out and a well built and musical phono stage, and don;t mind to play with those DIP switch, you may try Whest Audio phono form UK!! It is one of the more musical phono stage I ever audited before, high in resolution and details, but you will not distracted by the rich information and inner details of the recording, you will just wonder why you never heard those details before, and yet you would be indulged in the music.
To me, Hana cartridge is just another OEM cartridge with successful marketing scheme, with the same amount of money, I would spend it on those brand having long history or only focus on phono cartridge and analog stuff production. If you finally decided to have another cartridge, I would suggest you pick one meeting your budget from Ortofon, Benz Micro, Dynavector, Soundsmith, I have audited various model from these brand, they are all have strong background of producing musical cartridge and would match well with your Technics Turntable tonearm.
