Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Dear Dgob&Vetterone (?), There is a problem with 'my'
Glanz. The box is from the MFG 61 but inside the box
there is a 'new animal': Glanz 1 G -55 a. I always hope to see in
whatever box something better than the markings suggest
but this time I have no idea what to think.
Can you help?

Hi Nandric,

That is no small disappointment. The Glanz 1G-55R is a notably lower end Glanz and I think the seller needs to refund your money. Maybe it is a genuine mistake and he has simply boxed the items wrongly.

Fingers crossed and let us know.

As always...

Dear Dgob, Thanks for your worry but I wrote 'my Glanz' with quatation marks. I was in what lawyer call 'pre contractual' or 'negotiation' state of affair. It took me
some time but I learned from the Dutch how to negotiate.
Ie if a Dutchman agrees with your price direct than your negotiation capabilities are (very)questionable.
So again thanks for your worry as well as for the warning.

Regards,

Sorry for the delayed response guys but I have been in a terrible sad state since Nandric reminded me that I have no friends, only turntables to keep me company. I now wonder if my dog likes me...I thought she did but, who knows.

One thing is for sure, the MFG 61 is designed to be the top MF cart and the MFG 51E is the cart with training wheels. The MFG 31 series are the mid level carts. I will say a MFG 31L will embarrass some of the flavors of the week from the other thread. It is quite good. The 51E's cantilever reminds me of Hillary Clinton's cankles. That is thick! Dgob found a statement that said the MFG 61 has a hollow boron cantilever. Maybe some do but mine has solid boron cantilever with the end ground to an angle parallel to the LP surface. The stylus body is maroon/dark red in color. Body is silver. I have had mine for some time and it was new in the box with the original paperwork. It is a wonderful sounding cart. Maybe someday I can compare it to a G7. That would be interesting don't you think?

Bummer about the MFG 61 box Nandric.

Hi Vetterone,

"It [the MFG 61] is a wonderful sounding cart. Maybe someday I can compare it to a G7. That would be interesting don't you think?"
