Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Glanz are a moving flux design I will dig out the little brochure I have when I find it tomorrow. What I remember is they sounded pretty damn good for the money. I owned a MFG 71S and it rocked. I found a MFG 71E with a busted cantilever and I keep it just in case I find a replacement somewhere. Replacement stylus/Cantilever on these just snap into place. My front of house is worth $55,000 so that should be recommendation enough. Cheers

Dear Dgob: You have to re-read the Vinylengine paper about.

That someone say its " German " could not means is made in germany, in those times almost all cartridges was made in Japan ( OEM too. ). Btw, what difference can make if was made in Germany or Japan?

Regards and enjoy the music,

Thrmonicavenger,

Many thanks for this. Do you know about any difference in sound and performance between the MFG line and the G line? Also, do you recall how the two lines were esteemed at that time?

Raul,

Again, many thanks. I think that is correct and would tie in with my above suggestion about producer/owner distinction. I respect the technological fervour of both Japanese and German engineering. The word "precision" can hardly be used without these two nations springing to mind.

No, my interest is in knowing the tool that I am about to use. Ultimately, I'd hope to be in dialogue with users who can advise and recommend on issues such as tonearm matching, general set up and performance characteristics.

In the meantime,knowing the history of its production and its standing within its line and time is an interesting part of this learning experience. I am amazing grateful for all contributions and any scap of informaion would stil be welcome.

Thanks all

I unfortunately am still looking for that brochure. My experience is only with MFG line so I cannot comment on the G line. Cheers
