Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Hello dgob, I’ve seen the eBay listing for the Glanz G7 and M7. I think earlier in this thread you said you were trying various arms with your Glanz G5, could you say which ones you tried and which worked best please? I’m interested in trying the G7 but don’t know whether any of the arms I have will work with it. Many thanks. David Whistance |
Dear @dwhistance : The G7 is an integrated headshell cartridge that weigths 19gr. and 12 cu compliance. With this information and your tonearm(s) effective mass you can know which of your tonearms mates better with that cartridge using this resonance calcukator: https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_resonance_evaluator.php In the other side any integrated headshell cartridge models are not really good against the same model in stand alone fashion. Is up to you and over time you can find out the stand alone model or you can find out the Astatic MF 100 or the MF 2500 that came with the same cartridge motor generator.

Hi All, on a point of correction, I recently acquired a second (and slightly damaged) stylus for my Acutex 420 STR. I sent it off for the same revamp as Axel had made and discussed this with his successor (Franz-Josef Schulte) and it transpires that the optimisation carried out by Axel was the nude shibata on an aluminium cantilever. I am about to receive the adapted stylus with the same adaptation from Franz. This should not only provide me with the joy that Axel's work did, but also afford me an opportunity to determine whether Franz is maintaining the impeccable standards set by Axel. Fingers crossed.
As always... |
