to be a winner!
Just getting back into vinyl after 20 years, this would be a brilliant addition for me as I've heard great things about Hana cartridges.
I'd love to welcome this into my humble system.
What a deal! Count me in.
Count me in!!! Many thanks!
What isn't there to like about this great cartridge?
I would LOVE to use this with my Technics SL-1700 and Yamaha 2020.
Thanks for the opportunity!
I didn't even know this was a thing: "The Hana EH is also plug-and-play-compatible with MM phono stages found in integrated amplifiers and A/V receivers." So you can use certain (high-output?) MC cartridges with MM phono stage? I have more to learn!
Not much left here on my side of town (Southwest Portland) for vinyl shopping. The nearby Everyday Music in Beaverton was my go-to, but that closed down several years ago. Even the local Walmart cleared out their vinyl section when I was there in August (see how desperate I am for any close-by vinyl stacks to flip through?). Local thrift stores only have crap (but occasionally decent used CDs) ... So I spend all my vinyl money shopping on Discogs, etc.
Trying to game the system?

I will miss Mikey, but a new Hana will ease my pain.

Heard good things. Would be a nice replacement for my 35 year old cartridge. SOTA needs an upgrade!

I'd love to have the Hana Cartridge. Always looking for an affordable addition to my system.
If I win the Hana cart, I'll review it on my YouTube channel, Bill's Box Of Sound. Thank you!
Visit Siren Records McHenry for all your vinyl and vintage audio needs!
Shoutout to Cherry Records in historic Auburn, California. Al offers an exceptionally well-curated selection of vinyl, both new and old at fair prices, and he really knows his stuff! There’s never a bad day when I get the time to drive over to Cherry Records!!!
I like to buy records at Audiovision SF.
They have a nice curated collection with some Acoustic Sounds and Tone Poet offerings I dig.
Here's hoping.
I’ve renewed my interest in analog in the past decade and now my kids share that same interest!
I'm ready for a new cartridge.
I work for Best Buy so I have been getting vinyl at work lately
Aladdin's Antiques and Records In Bellingham, WA - a great selection of used records, some rare jazz selections, and an interesting collection of vintage gear.
No comment

This cartridge is on my wish list ;-)
Cincinnati is blessed with great record stores.
Plaid Room, Home of the Colemine Record label
Everybody's
Shake It
Phils' Records and Memorabilia
And several more actually. And this means I go through cartridges quite quickly, like every 18 to 24 months.
My go-to record store is Radio Kaos Records in Stevens Point, WI! Amazing selection of new vinyl and CDs, with an eclectic owner that genuinely cares about his community. An essential weekly pilgrimage is required of me. Thanks!
Would love to win the drawing!
Bought thousands of albums in the 60s, 70s and 80s - switched to CDs afterwards.
broke my needle. So yeah, I definitely need a new Hana cartridge and a replacement "Best of the Partridge Family" by K-Tel record album!
Capitol City Records, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
My rega25 would love to use the Hanaho mc cartridge. cartridge.
I would love to give this cartridge a run on my Gyrodeck.

This would be my first entry into the mc class of cartridges.

Wish I had any record store nearby.
Top choice in the area for me. Props dusty groove
I'd love to be the winner.
Third Man records here in Nashville is a great place!
To be the winner!
My favorite record store of all time is Rasputin’s in Berkely, CA. It’s been several years since I went there, because I live in Idaho, but it’s real,easy to drop a couple hundred bucks there.
Would love a cartridge upgrade....
I sure could use this new cartridge! To play records I buy at the local goodwill, since we don't have a real record store here...
My favorite vinyl stores in Denver are Angelos and Twist and Shout. Thanks for the opportunity and a great publication....r

RIP The Exclusive Company (various WI locations), long live the successors!
Sitting on the most prominent corner of cozy West Seattle, Easy Street is a time suck for any music lover. Good thing they have a cafe attached, because after realizing hours have been spent on new, used, and collectible vinyl perusing, one can get a might peckish. They've hosted live bands there many times, recording Pearl Jam, Brandi Carlile, and others for LP release. I hope that comes back!
Me too.
in Denver are great
YEAH BABY
Pick me.
I actually need to replace my current Hana cartridge!
I don't have a favorite music store -- I've not had good luck buying records at physical stores (or finding what I want). I prefer eBay and Discogs
I would love to take my Queen collection for a spin with this cartridge!
A new Hana cart would be just the thing!
very kindly
Sounds like a great cartridge
So you can send the cart! :D
ME ME ME
Would love it!
Is a diamond in the rough. A consistently strong jazz section
Let's Go!
Would love to hear it eh!
in Phoenix, AZ!
I deserve this fine cartridge because moss green is my favorite color.
I actually have two favorite record stores. The Princeton Record Exchange in Princeton, New Jersey, and Turntable Treasures in Tacoma, Washington.
With any luck I’ll finally be able to upgrade my cartridge through Analog Planet!
Keeping it real in massapequa ,ny
Thanks for the opportunity and wonderful raffle prize.
Landlocked Music in Bloomington, IN is my favorite!
My favorite record store is Mill City Sound in Hopkins Minnesota. MF actually did a video from there shortly after Prince died. I believe it’s still on the Analogplanet YouTube channel.
Reckless Records, Chicago reasonably priced, large variety.
Village Music (RIP) in Mill Valley was the best.
Recycled Records in Reno.
Yeah, baby Hana, come to Papa!!!
Only buy records on line.
I echo the recommendations of Ella Guru and Decatur CD, but my longest-lived record store relationship is with Wax N Facts, going strong since 1976.
I wonder if this will work with my Moerch arm wand. Though I love my V-15 V

Can't wait to have this for an upgrade. No stores near me, but in London there are hundreds and all are good.
Chicken Dinner
And I would love to try another
Hoping to replace an Ortofon with this cartridge. Wondering how they compare.
FREEEEE! Sign me up.
Rainy Day Music in Olympia!!
Absolute best record store in Los Angeles. Great selection and great prices. Large amount of vinyl that sells quickly, so worth repeat visits.
so go ahead...pick me!!!
Lovely.
Noble Records in Matthews, NC. New arrivals are always just that... new arrivals. They are constantly buying HUGE record collections so store's used inventory is always changing and growing!
Lunchbox records in Charlotte
I'd give it a try...
Nice, I have been wanting to try one. Good luck to all!
Grady's Records in Ventura is my favorite record store. They always have great used records in great condition!
I'll take any one of them? My Denon 103-R is getting old so this would be a nice change!
If I win I will be very pleased..
Favorite record store is Watt's Music in Novato, CA. Old school charm.
Earth Pig Records in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Incredibly clean/used records. A tad pricy since the son has taken over, but offers the most store credit for trade-ins.
Spinnaker in Hyannis MA. They have continued to stay relevant over decades and still the prices are decent for used vinyl. Record Store Day is always presented well and I always look forward for crate diving.
Staffed my fiendish, music-loving miscreants. And Rachel.
Recommended. Strongly.

Love my small town Grass Valley Clock Tower Records. really need a new Hana!
Virginia is my most local, and thus favorite. But since the 70’s, I’ve been in some greats in the southeast!
Nice cart, green looks good also!
Why is this only open to United States residents? For an extra dollar or two of postage you could include your world wide readership in this. Come on, think outside the USA for once. Oh, and Dutch Vinyl, Johnson St, Melbourne.
That is the million-dollar question... But it will be either Rage Against the Machine's debut album of the same name or Wave by Antonio Carlos Jobim... Very different, I know! But both are fantastic albums and both of my pressings will showcase the Cart.
i would love this
Great!
