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

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.

Dear Chakster, There is, alas, just one word in English for

both : printer copy and hand writen copy. The later is my

copy of the Glanz 61 specs which I have posted already.

More to discover
