I had switched from 2M Black to Hana ML and noticed quite a difference. Ortofon sounded harsh and sometimes annoying to my ears. Hana is, as some described, LUSH, very relaxed and still detailed. Much more pleasant to listen to in my book.
Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML
Mounting on a Shure DME 3009 S2 improved with a Thorens TD125 Mk2.
presently using Ortofon 2M black through Musical surroundings Nova III phono stage and linear power supply. This was s major step up from the Grace F7 ruby that came with the TT/TA.
considering a step up and for various reasons I’m leaning towards one of those two cartridges.
Tonearm effective mass, compliance, resonance all check out.
Anyone with enough experience with either/both cartridges to offer sn informed opinion? I’m all ears.
thanks.
