Glanz moving magnet cartridges

This English gentleman forget the ''function of time''. Or rather
he wants to reverse  its direction. When Raul started this
thread one could ask more money for each cart of the month
than he paid for. This ''one'' was member of this forum and had
as such ''inside information''. To put this otherwise we were able
to experiment for free. Alas this is not anymore the case. However
our English gentleman still thinks that those ''good old times''
are still present. 

Having been a hen's dentist, I can attest that hen's teeth are quite rare.  Which is why I left the profession to become a monkey's uncle.

I think the M7 is headshell integrated version of the MF71L, some nice and cheap Glanz are on ebay now from Japan, but not the M7.

BTW I don’t want to sell my MF-61 :)


@dgob would be nice to read about your new discoveries, any interesting stuff in your cartridge arsenal?

Advantages of tension wire by ,say, MM carts is ever explained
by J. Carr is this forum. They are usual by MC cartridges but
not by MM kinds. With exceptions. By AT , Technics , Grace and
some Glanz& Astatic (the ''top'' versions) also. I can see this
clear by MF 71 and Astatic 100 but not by Astatic 200 or
Glanz 31. Tension wire ''imply'' fastening an both sides of the
generator. This means fastening an  the cantilever and its
back side. By Technics this back side is glued but by Glanz 
there is an screw on the back side . Anyway in order to repair
damping this wire must be removed. This is not possible by
Technics but probably well by other. 

Hi chakster,

 

I now use three key cartridges:

my Highphonics MC D15 (to offer mellow beauty with MC dynamics);

my Acutex 420 STR (with the boron cantilever and nude shibata tip)

my Glanz G5.
