Glanz moving magnet cartridges


Hi,

I have just acquired an old Glanz G5 moving magnet cartridge. However, I cannot find out any details about this or the Glanz range or, even the company and its history.

Can anyone out there assist me in starting to piece together a full picture?

Any experiences with this or other Glanz's; web links; set up information etc would be warmly received. Surely someone knows something!

Thanks in hope

Nandric,

I would just note that there are over 11,000 others following this thread - some of whom I discuss matters with off site. You could think of it as my sharing experiences around a cartridge that (although possibly a better performer than anything you have heard)
few if any of you have yet experienced.

Your puzzling interest here does of course make you 11,001. Although I cannot pretend to fathom any further interest on your behalf, I am glad that you had the time and energy to make your interesting contribution.

As always...
In my 02-18-12 posting, it should of course have read:

"I have 'now' discovered that the G7 line contact stylus adds something to the G5 cartridge..."

Apologies
Hi All,

Thanks to a recent contribution, I thought it timely to reiterate a founding aim of this thread/diary.

To wit, I still hope other Glanz owners (most specifically those owning or having owned the G5, G7 or MFG71E/L) will chip in with contributions. I know that we are apparently very few (or possibly only one) among the Audiogon readership but perspectives or information that add to the related knowledge here would still be warmly welcomed.

Until such time, I hope my meanderings and reflections will not prove too painful for those who remain or become interested.

As always...
Dear Dgob: I take your point and I understand the Nandric one too.

Maybe you could understand better the Nandric post with this example on the thread ( second page. ):

you posted on: 09-07-10 and from here there was no single other post for more than a year till you posted again in: 10-08-11 and only to " reaffirm " ( that's what I read in this post. ) something that you posted before.

Makes sense this scenario to you?, I respect what you think and obviously you are free to make anything you want in any thread. I'm not questioning either if there are persons interested on the subject.

Anyway, go on: this is your privilege and not Nandric one or mine.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
Hi Raul,

I'm impressed by your close reading and support for sharing evolving impressions among the interested. I know you also share my experience of changing perspective with the ongoing exploration of other cartridges and bits of hifi. I think this is part of what is reflected within this thread and hope (should there be another long break between my posts) that this will not prove a problem for other interested readers.

I'll definitely contact you off site in spring/summer regarding our recent Essential discussions.

All the best in the meantime
