Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Hi Vetterone,

I would just like to say a huge thanks for bringing additional knowledge to bear on this thread. It is a little late here now but I will attempt to respond properly when I log back on in the morning.

Kind regards

As always...

Well this thread become 'something totaly different':
it is now about who knows better. Nobody invited Vetterone
to demonstrate his knowledge so he obviuously invited him self. To surpass him I decided to check the German forums but to my big suprise as well as disappointment the Germans know even less than we do. Glanz was established in the 80is and despite some 'pushing' by two German HI-FI Magazines never get off the ground.Besides the German snobs (all of them) preferred Shure. More in particular the Shure
V15V. What some of them could remember was that Mitachy in
Japan produced the carts (with the known nomenclature labyrinth) while only 51 and 30 models are mentioned. So 'Glanz' (shine) 'shined' for about 1 year only. I am interested in the 'twin' brother or sister of the MF 200 of whatever 'brand' and would love to inform Raul with something like this: ''I got my MF 200 for 30 Euro, how much deed you pay for Axel's upgrade of your MF300?''

Regards,

I forgot, Vetterone: """ +++ Do the bodies look like the Astatic MF series? " ++++

the Astatic are stand alone ( 1/2" ) mounting cartridges where the ones you named ( the ones that Dgob owns. ) are headshell integrated designs: way different.

As I said: I'm done on this subject. Nothing to add.

Dear Raul, There are also 'stand alone' Glanz carts so you
should not give up. But if both , the G5 and G 7 are 'integrated' I need to concentrate only on the 31 E or L?
BTW Vetterone asked Dgob about the styli as well about the
kind (mms or mf's) of his G5 /G 7 which imply that he is not familiar with those.Besides to be able to 'integrate' whatever cart in whatever headshell both are (pre)assumed to be 'stand alone' before the (re)union. Ie. it may be the case that the carts 'in' G5/G7 exsist as separate or 'stand alone' entity.

Dear Dgob, I hope you can answer all those questions. Considering the time that you spend on the 'subject' I am very optimistic. It is , I would think, much easier 'stuff' than Kant's Critic of the pure reason.

Regards,
