In any case, when Paul Rigby reviewed the Hana ML, he used an Origin Live Enterprise 12" to good effect, and that arm's effective mass is somewhere between 16g and 17g, so I would not worry about arm mass being theoretically a touch too high. And 8Hz is not too low.

    I found the dynamic compliance at 10hz in this page http://www.music2.nl/hana/ . So, mathematics apart do you think that Jelco 850 it's a good upgrade from original technics 1200 mkII arm? Here in Spain there aren't so many people with that Jelco. Currently the hana is in the original technics (Carda's rewired) arm and sounds pretty good but I assume could get more from that cartridge. I don't know because don't have experience with Mc cartridges.

    Thanks for your help

    The Jelco TK850 is a superb arm a giant killer actually and substantially better than the old SA750 (radically so). Should be a good match with the Hana. I would recommend though that the next upgrade after the arm is your phono stage.

    Perhaps you should define what you want out of your turntable, sound wise. You'll then have a clear idea of your upgrade path.

    Thanks for your advise.
    The phono stage I think is enough for the moment. I bought two months ago a Gold note PH-10 and I’m pretty happy with it.

    I’ve tried both the SL and ML and yep the ML is better whereas the SL is the absolute sweet spot of sound per pound.
    Exactly this.

    I've heard really good things about the Hana SL and also the goldnote phono stage too, great flexibility.
