How does it sound with Hana SL? Did you experience hiss with ur latest settings? I am going to buy either Hana SH or Hana SL to use with Rega Planar 8. If it is not really necessary to buy Hana SH for Devialet(due to hiss issue), I'd rather buy Hana SL. Therefore, my first choice is Hana SL.
I have an Expert 120, which does not have the advanced phono stage.
Anyway, while the Hana SL brought a drastic improvement in soundstage and detail compared to my old MM cartridge (a Sumiko Pearl), I got annoyed by the higher noise floor (despite mostly evident during the “black” moments) and a kind of increased listening fatigue (despite I reduced the loading to 470 ohm using parallel resistors).
Buying a Denon SUT solved everything, making the sound less no fatiguing and with zero hiss.
Nonetheless, if I could go back I might consider the SH to simplify the signal path.
