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 xactaudio,

 

Yes, of all the high end cartridges that I ever sent to Axel Schurholz, the only one whose performance that he enthusiastically described as "perfect" was the Acutex 420 STR with a nude shibata tip and boron cantilever. I agree with his (and your assessments). A marvellous cartridge in every way.

 

 

I should also make note of my undying gratitude and admiration for Axel, who passed away last year. His help and personal advice to myself and many on this forum was kindly given and greatly appreciated.

The world of high fidelity has lost a champion. RIP Axel

I own MC A3 but never used because the output is to low 

for my phono-pre. So If I can help whomever  gladly so.

Hello dgob, I’ve seen the eBay listing for the Glanz G7 and M7. I think earlier in this thread you said you were trying various arms with your Glanz G5, could you say which ones you tried and which worked best please? I’m interested in trying the G7 but don’t know whether any of the arms I have will work with it. Many thanks.
