Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Dear chakster, Logic is connected with mathematics ( aka the
number theory) in the West but not necessary in the East.
Chinese and Japanese distinguish  between ''bad'' and ''good
numbers''. So searching for logical explanation for Glanz numbers
is hopeless undertaking. Even worst is the AT nomenclature.
I own AT's  in the cloths of Signet kinds numbered from 10 ,etc.
but without nr. 8. I own all of them till TK 5 but despite logic there
is no nr.8. So I assume that they (the Japanese) assume that
this number brings misfortune. But then there is some logic in
avoiding this number because everybody wants to avoid misfortune.
So it may be the case that they preferred nr. 61 above 71. Also
because the 61 is produced later they needed to put this nr.
somewhere so they put it between 71 and 51.  There is ,alas,
no reason for us in the West to feel superior because we also
have some strange numbers: negative , irrational and even infinite
numbers.

This English gentleman forget the ''function of time''. Or rather
he wants to reverse  its direction. When Raul started this
thread one could ask more money for each cart of the month
than he paid for. This ''one'' was member of this forum and had
as such ''inside information''. To put this otherwise we were able
to experiment for free. Alas this is not anymore the case. However
our English gentleman still thinks that those ''good old times''
are still present. 

Having been a hen's dentist, I can attest that hen's teeth are quite rare.  Which is why I left the profession to become a monkey's uncle.

I think the M7 is headshell integrated version of the MF71L, some nice and cheap Glanz are on ebay now from Japan, but not the M7.

BTW I don’t want to sell my MF-61 :)


@dgob would be nice to read about your new discoveries, any interesting stuff in your cartridge arsenal?
