I always found the 33EV to be an interesting cartridge, very dynamic and lively sounding. Which pairs really well with an idler table like the 124. Actually that is the table I used one on with an ET II linear tracking air bearing arm, it was a very nice combo.

What happened to the Hana carts you had?

I still have the Hana EL though no longer in rotation. The Audio Technica ART9, Fidelity Research FR-7 and Phillips GP922 are all far superior carts and I've even a few others that beat it silly (Accuphase AC-2, Klipsch MCZ-7, Fidelity Research FR-1 Mk3F etc).

While the Hana EL is a nice cart, there are many that can considerably outperform it. Particularly in terms of dynamics and detail.

All good to know so thanks for trying it out for me so I can save my money LOL

Can you try this one now?

Kiseki Purpleheart NS. (re-release) Also own Rega Apheta 2 (ref avatar) and Dynavector 17D3. I heartily recommend either of these, however, both must bow down before the Purpleheart. But then the Reed 3P I imagine is a factor as well.

Haha, I'm done buying cartridges. If you ever come across a Phillips GP922 then snap it up. Probably the best cart I've ever come across. It scales with your system. The more revealing your system the better it sounds. It even puts the ART9 to shame.

I've a second GP922 which I'll send off for a ruby cantilever and FGS tip at some point.
