Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Hi All,

Thanks to a recent contribution, I thought it timely to reiterate a founding aim of this thread/diary.

To wit, I still hope other Glanz owners (most specifically those owning or having owned the G5, G7 or MFG71E/L) will chip in with contributions. I know that we are apparently very few (or possibly only one) among the Audiogon readership but perspectives or information that add to the related knowledge here would still be warmly welcomed.

Until such time, I hope my meanderings and reflections will not prove too painful for those who remain or become interested.

As always...

Dear Dgob: I take your point and I understand the Nandric one too.

Maybe you could understand better the Nandric post with this example on the thread ( second page. ):

you posted on: 09-07-10 and from here there was no single other post for more than a year till you posted again in: 10-08-11 and only to " reaffirm " ( that's what I read in this post. ) something that you posted before.

Makes sense this scenario to you?, I respect what you think and obviously you are free to make anything you want in any thread. I'm not questioning either if there are persons interested on the subject.

Anyway, go on: this is your privilege and not Nandric one or mine.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Hi Raul,

I'm impressed by your close reading and support for sharing evolving impressions among the interested. I know you also share my experience of changing perspective with the ongoing exploration of other cartridges and bits of hifi. I think this is part of what is reflected within this thread and hope (should there be another long break between my posts) that this will not prove a problem for other interested readers.

I'll definitely contact you off site in spring/summer regarding our recent Essential discussions.

All the best in the meantime

Sorry Raul,

Forgot to mention that I genuinely did not see anything wrong with Nandric's inquiry. He was obviously interested enough to both read and comment on my reflections and so (happy as I am with your support) I don't think there is really any problem here. And as you say, we are all of course free to share our experiences and/or to choose to ignore those of others.

As always...

Hi All,

You might recall my noting that: "I have 'now' discovered that the G7 line contact stylus adds something to the G5 cartridge..."

This was because I was not satisfied with the performance of my G7 - having given it around 20 hours of testing. Hence, its M-7 stylus has been playing on my G5 for the past few months. It must have passed the 100 hours mark by now.

Well, I decided to try the G7 with its now run-in M-7 stylus reinstored on Sunday. WOW: there seems to be real grounds for a major reassessment!! However, what is apparent after only a few hours of playing this is that the G7 is an immense beast with dynamic, tonal and detail retrieval abilities that can both surprise and delight.

My task is now to assess it in light of the performance of my Technics 100 Mk4 and Glanz G5. I will feedback once any certainties are secured. This could form a review of the top of the range Glanz.

Obviously, my apologies to any reader who might take offence from what I share here.

As always...
