Greetings to all.
 
I'm looking to replace my old Dynavector 10x5 which has been brilliantly well supported by my Reflex M, for longer than i dare to say. Suffice to say that my respect for the Reflex M is such that I am limiting my shortlist to the best MM, or high output moving coil, that will make a good match. On my list is the Hana Mk2 SH, as well as Vertere's Sabre and Dark Sabre MM cartridges.

My preamp is an Avondale Audio modified N**m NAC 72. One technical concern is whether the Hana, at the relatively low output of 2.0, is going to give me enough gain. Conversely, will the Sabres at 4.3 leave the NA over attenuated, ie in a less than optimum position with regards to the vol control
FWIW, my 10 x 5, with 2.5 output, usually has The NAC volume dial at around the 9 - 10 o clock position.

Any comments on this aspect of matching would be incredibly welcome as would any responses from anyone familiar with the Sabres and or the Hana Mk2H

I have a Hana SH Mk2, and a Reflex M, and I'm delighted with the sound I get, in my setup.
My integrated amp is not from the company based in Salisbury.
