Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Steve,

Excellent news.

On the Glanz, I would recommend the G5 integrated as the best I've heard and the G7 and/or MFG 71L or E as the alternative options. You can see the bulk of comments and issues regarding these in the above posts of this thread.

Not withstanding clear set up challenges for the former two integrated cartridges, REALLY, REALLY GREAT cartridges - particulary the former.

Happy listening and hunting

Thanks for that.

Regards
Steve

Hi All,

Those looking to optimise their vinyl replay can currently get hold of an Audio Technica AT666 EX pneumatic stabilizer. There's one currently going on eBay:http://cgi.ebay.com/Audio-Technica-AT666-EX-disc-stabilizer-pump-etc-/200516997374?pt=Turntable_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eafbe90fe.

Hi All,

Just spent an enforced length of time re-aquainting myself with my Glanz's. I can only reaffirm my claim that the G5 is a very superior cartridge and I would desperately urge anyone who has the opportunity to grab it. I am aware that they rarely appear but I truly believe they are worth any efforts to get hold of.

I write this partially stunned by the music presently playing in the background.

As always...

Apologies,

However, following off-line correspondence, I hasten to clarify that the Glanz is NOT of the quality of my Technics EPC 100Mk4. There again, nothing I have heard is.

What it is is a better performer than most well respected cartridges 'and' a (in my case) still unresolved challenge for perfect set up.

These points hopefully now clarified: I highly recommend it and its undoubted potential.
