@last_lemming So I got the Glanz MFG 610LX up and running today. Thanks Chakster for the recommendation. Less than an hour, but so far very impressed. Sounds very natural.
Nice, if this beast is on the same level as my older and rarer Glanz MFG-61 it must be one of the best cartridges ever (on MM/MI/MF territory). I hope the damper is fine on your sample, i wonder how many samples that Japanese guy own (lol).
