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 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.

Dear @dwhistance  :  The G7 is an integrated headshell cartridge that weigths 19gr. and 12 cu compliance. With this information and your tonearm(s) effective mass you can know which of your tonearms mates better with that cartridge using this resonance calcukator:

In the other side any integrated headshell cartridge models are not really good against the same model in stand alone fashion. Is up to you and over time you can find out the stand alone model or you can find out the Astatic MF 100 or the MF 2500 that came with the same cartridge motor generator.

Hi All,

 

And congratulations to the successful buyer of the G7. Pleased to hear that you are enjoying it as much as I anticipated. Apologies for not being able to match you to your Audiogon name.
