Glanz moving magnet cartridges

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.

Hi All,

on a point of correction, I recently acquired a second (and slightly damaged) stylus for my Acutex 420 STR. I sent it off for the same revamp as Axel had made and discussed this with his successor (Franz-Josef Schulte) and it transpires that the optimisation carried out by Axel was the nude shibata on an aluminium cantilever. 

I am about to receive the adapted stylus with the same adaptation from Franz. This should not only provide me with the joy that Axel's work did, but also afford me an opportunity to determine whether Franz is maintaining the impeccable standards set by Axel. Fingers crossed.

As always...

Please report the results.  I am very interested as I own the 420STR and feel it is a very under rated cartridge.  On my arm of choice (ET2) it has proven to be, in some ways, one of the best that I have owned.  Thanks!

Frogman,

Will do, definitely. I've been using mine on the original Moerch DP6 red point, but have just ordered a DP6 mk2 for its return. Very much looking forward to partnering them up and seeing what I get.

As always...

@dgob  : Sorry you already pull the triger but was a bad " move " because the cantilever should/must be boron material.
