I'm a big fan of Whest phono stages- I have owned three. Currently use a MC Ref V on my main deck.
Never tried a Hana cartridge with Whest but you could drop Jim Henriot an email via his website to confirm that it would be a good match or not. Whest stages are very flexible with loading and gain. I used a Titan Pro with a DV Xv1-s on my LP12 and it was a great result. Whest are very clean and dynamic sounding with great resolution and low noise. They are my go-to choice.
I have owned Tron phono stages as well- Convergence Sig and Seven Ultimate. These are tubed units so a bit different from the Whest. Great phono stages and the Convergence is a bit of a bargain but you are stuck with a single load/gain value- not a lot of flexibility here.
Whest is being distributed by Mofi/Music Direct now. I think you can try and return if it does not suit you? Worth the effort imo...good luck!
