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

The above obviously relates to additional couplings and mechanical response - although not really treating of the issues surrounding coupling disparate build materials. The universal headshell and fixing screws are of course, as has already been pointed out, a useful way to tune in our prefered distortions.

Does anyone knows anything about the Glanz MFG 61?
This one I can buy from some Italian seller.

Sorry Nandric,

I have never heard it. However, if it is the MFG-61'L', it should be a good buy. I think that if you can get it at a reasonable price, it will be useful just to explore for yourself. Obviously, I do rate the Glanz that I have tried and other fora are positive about other Glanz.

Good luck either way

As always...

Dear Vetterone, The intention of my question was to get
advice reg. the purchase of the MFG 61. From your answer
I can conclude that you prefer to keep your knowledge for
yourself. I know that you are a kind of inventor but the
so called 'know how' in the context of the intellectual property
apply for your turntables and not carts. Or so I thought.
