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

Hello,
Just bought the Astatic MF-100! On it's way to the UK as we speak. It was browsing this AudioG thread that made me take the punt having never heard one before. Currently have Origin Live Aurora 2/Origin Live Silver 2./ AT 150MLX into Croft 25R/Croft Series 4S - with Epos M22i and Townshend supertweeters. Also have Cyrus CD XT se/PSxR with Benchmark DAC1

Looking forward to trying out theAstatic in the OL setup.

Hi Steve,

Great to hear that more great equipment will be making its way to these shores. I'm sure you'll enjoy the Astatic and you can find a lot of detail about set up and various experiences of it on the 'who needs a moving magnet' thread started by Raul Ireugas here on Audiogon.

Do let me know how it turns out and good luck

PS. Have you thought of posting your system on this site?
Thanks for that - am a newbie to Audiogon forum so will need to research as to how I post my system details but will do - am a total Croft valve amp fan :-)

Regards
Steve
One of my earliest systems had a croft preamp-phonostage with a Leak ST60 amp. I still have fond memories.

Welcome aboard
Thanks Dgob - just putting my system details together - will upload piccies later. Have 2 systems the OL/Croft/Cyrus/Epos and a Quad 67 CD - Quad 33/FM3/303/ heavily breathed on by Net-Audio (http://www.net-audio.co.uk/) - Quad 21L's - very nice.
