Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos?
I have both, Hana Umami Red and Lyra Kleos, and both are fantastic! Lyra Kleos a little bit more open in the high frequencies, and Hana Umami Red a little bit more forgiven in not so good recordings

Luxam C-900u
I had the chance to compare Conrad Johnson ET-5 to Luxman C-900u, and I prefer CJ ET-5. Softer, warmer, more derailed and relaxing sound.

Hana Humami Red cartridge
