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

Fascinating is the search for the mysterious MF...and MM/MI cart(s). This may very well be a neverending story/thread, after all...
Still, logically the highest digit confirms the finest, so the 71 must be that ?

Dear Harold, There is this old Aristotelian 'methodology'
about the 'essence of things'. Well your 'neverending story'
seems to be the 'essence' of our hobby. Your 'digit'
assumption however is ,alas, false. This 'lesser' number 61
seems to be better than my own higher number 71.
