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

Dear Vetterone, If you mean some 'curious' sense for humor
I agree. But I still try to learn English so, alas, some of
the American proverbs or the way of speaking are not clear to me. But Lew is always willing to help in this regard. I even think that he likes me. Slavic bonds I assume.

Regards,
Hi Raul,

I just found your post of 09-21-09 on the MM/MI thread and thought I detected a change in your comments a few years later. This does make me wonder where the intervening problems reside:

"Dear Dgob, You point out the advantages that a integrate headshell cartridge ( like the Glanz you own or the Audio Technica AT-25 or Technics Pc100 and some other MM type cartridges. ) has but I think that you don't mention what IMHO is the more important subject: in a cartridge that comes with a integrated headshell there is no headshell wires/connectors ( at least not in the form we know. ), the connection is more direct and in " theory " less signal degradation that with a so low level signal is something important to care about."

Nothing added or taken away.

As always...
Dear Dgob: That was in 2009, we all have the right to learn to grow up. I'm not married with any audio subject, as the life in audio " things " change and change when we give us the opportunity to learn the opportunity to think in a different way.

Again, in a vintage integrated cartridge the " aquila's heel " is precisely those vintage old internal wires/connectors and of course the non-flexibility to make the best cartridge set-up for the cartridge could shows us at its best.

There are other " inconvenients " in a vintage cartridges but are not the subject here.

Regards and enjoy the music,
