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

Hi all, Because of the strange editorship of both ''old threads''

by which each page start with the repetion of the ''old introduction''

I nearly missed both. So first things first. Raul welcome back

and Dgob will you please write about some other cart?

My own contribution sonsits of ''some specs''.

1. Glanz 61

output: 3,5 mV

channel bal.: 1dB

Channel sep: >25 dB

inductance: 120mH

compliance: 26x 19

cantilever : boron

stylus: PH tip


Glanz 31, 51 and 71

output: 3,5 mV

channel sep.:> 25 dB

impedance: 1,6 K

inductance: 110

complience (50x10 ;71; 45x10,51 and 45x10 for 31)

@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.

@nandric 
no, the Glanz M series carts are not MC as it's clearly stated MF = "moving flux", not moving coil design. Those M series are not listed in dadabase or elsewhere, unfortunately. But the stylus replacement for G-7 cart. is M-7 

specs for G-7 below:

■ Price \ 42,800 yen
■ power generation method MF type
■ output voltage 3mV (5cm / sec 1kHz)
■ needle pressure 1.5g ± 0.25g
■ Play frequency band 10-50,000Hz
■ Channel separation 25dB / 1kHz
■ Channel balance
■ compliance 12 × 10-6cm / dyne
■ DC resistance
■ load resistance
■ Impedance 2kΩ / 1kHz
■ needle tip line contact needle
■ own weight 19g
■ exchange needle M-7 (\ 20,000)
■ Release 1977
■ discontinued 1984-85 circa
■ Remarks price those of 1977
