Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Some of the Glanz were actually Astatic MF series cartridges.

The Cartridge Database has many different Glanz cartridges listed:

including the G5.

Dear Storyboy: Just curios: Where do you read what you posted? or how do you know that Glanz is Astatic?, thank you.

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Storyboy: Reading here: http://www.vinylengine.com/library/glanz/cartridge-data.shtml

and seen the cartridge/headshell picture looks like an Astatic and both operate in the same priciple: Movin Flux, so it seems that you are right.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Todd,

Many thanks. I saw this but am very dubious about it.

All,

In fact, I have already seen all of these pieces (for which I am truly grateful) and this only heightened my curiousity.

The claim that Glanz is German would seem to be substantiated by the name of the range: "glanz". However, the pieces from Vinylengine and the cartridge data base make explicit claims about it being a Japanese product. Maybe the Astatic link would be the answer (meaning, Japanese made under/for a German owned company).

Raul,

They are all cited as being moving magnets. Even the Japanese retailer from whom I bought mine has them down as Japanese made moving magnets. What makes you think they are moving flux (or, excuse my unabashed technical ignorance but, are they the same thing?)?

Please keep an eye out and if anything further can be found out (maybe by a former owner), it would be hugely appreciated

Many thanks
