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

Hi Nandric,

"You also dismissed Ortofon SPU and EMT with a very strange 'foundation' : for some silly Japanese?"

I am not wholly surprised. Cartridge/people? An easy digression!

Raul,

Everyone is free to read and judge your comments and make their own decisions: hopefully in the light of a few facts:

1. You have simply NEVER heard the cartridges about which you have repeatedly announced a keen dislike!? [That underpins your desperate scratching around to find things/a logic that - "apparently" - support your hatred.]

2. You have now contradicted every tenet on which you argued the case for antique MM/MI cartridges and you have done so in a manner that would have been more fitting of the received wisdom that often stated that MC's were more modern and therefore better?

Is this mere dishonesty? Or is it an ego related failing? I am not certain. It does make we wonder about your constant exclamations that "I have said all I have on Glanz" (assumedly here meaning, 'nothing').

No, your willingness to spit out negative comments about a cartridge that you feel no shame in admitting that you have never heard seems to suggest more hidden motives and recalls the recently mentioned bard. As the infamous Iago concludes his part in the drama that he has helped to unfold:

"Iago: 'Demand me nothing. What you know, you know. From this time forth I never will speak word."

And yet, as though some monarch-like ghost wondering the battlements of his demise, here you stand providing what seems to me to be the same blind criticism.

I'm only saying

As always...

Dear Dgob, Because your thread , as I already mentioned,
become 'who knows better' our beloved Henry decided to
move your thread to the right place: the MM thread.
I love the guy and will follow. As you know my beloved Frege was obsessiv about 'foundations' so I, as a good student, will try to question some of Rauls 'foundations'. He, it seems, is also very fond of 'foundations' but thinks that his are the only 'right one'. This of course is a very strong indication that he 'knows better' and that is and was my point. No more 'shine' alas for your Glanz as separate thread.

Hi Nandric,

I'm not really sure that I follow your last post but that seems fine!?

Sorry Nadric,

It's early here and so I just spotted the linguistic link (shine, glanz).

I would hope that the repeating on the MM/MI thread might bring more Glanz users forward. I'd still like the forms of discussion around set up tips, tonearm matching preferences, vtf, sra etc. I'd also love to think that some former or current users of the Glanz G series would have anecdotal and personal reflections that might help situate these gems in experiiental time and space.

As always...
