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

Dear Dgob, I assume everybody is interested but you forget
to mention that this one is without the stylus.

Hi Nandric,

True, but I thought the actual auction answered your point and so felt it insignificant.

"Just when I think I'm out, they drag me back in".

Axel has revamped an Acutex 420 STR and sent it to me. When put on an Audio Technica MG-10 magnesium headshell on my AC3300 LB, it is simply a great cartridge. I recommend anyone who already owns this cartridge to consider sending it to Axel for changes.

A worthy contender

As always...

Dgob, how should we instruct Axel to change the Acutex 420?

Dear Dgob, Are you mad at MM thread? To my knowledge the
stylus and the cantilever by Acutex 420 are pretty good
so I assume that one or the other was broken? Or deed you
order by Axel the 'exotic' beryllium or boron cantilever and
Gyger 2 stylus? Otherwise I dont't understand what Axel could improve on.
