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   
compliance figure you're quoting here is STATIC and that's why it is so high. 

Dynamic Compliance @ 100Hz is:

12cu for Glanz 71L / 71E
10cu for Glanz 51L / 31E
9cu for Glanz 31L /31E

P.S. Do you have copy of the manual for Glanz 61 btw?

@dgob
i’ve noticed there is also an "M" series of headshell integrated Glanz MF cartridges such as M3, M5, M7.

I know you have posted here about the "G" series: G5, G7 as their top of the line headshell integrated.

But do you know anything about Glanz M7 or M5/M3 (and their specs)? They're looks exactly like G series btw.

Dear Chakster, As Lew(m) stated ''there are offerings which

one can't resist''. He had buyers in mind. But I got a bid from

some Italian collector for my MF 61 which I could not resist.

The Italian also got the user manual which I copied before and

posted in my previous contribution. The other specs I also copied 

but from the manual included by my MF 31 L. My intention was

to underline that the only diffrence by Glanz series 71,51 and

31 is complience.

Reg. those ''M kinds'' my quess is that those are MC's.

I am only intersted in(Dgob's) G7 but have, alas, never seen one.

Not even on the Japanese Jauce site.

More to discover
