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

I seem to have inadvertently found myself in the middle of something.

Rest assured that I don't know enough (nothing really) about integrated headshells to take sides either way. I will say that I am surprised by how good the cart sounds given the degree of 'error' it has in my setup. I find that comforting.

I'm selling the cart anyways, not because of the headshell but because I'm looking to go all MM.

If I ever find a Glanz cartridge (6 months of snooping and I've yet to lay eyes on one), I'll be back here for more lessons from the ghost of Goebbels.
Dear Banguo, My gosh! There is no conspiracy on either side
so you are consequently not in 'the middle of something'.
We all try to provide info to our best knowledge but what
you intend to do with this information is your own choice and/or decision.
All my headshells have 'splits' and azymuth provision for obvious reasons
but if I get the chance to obtain the Glanz 5 or 7 for a good price I would
certanly buy any of those. This is how I interpret Dgob's
recommendation. That is btw how I bought the most of my carts: by others recommendation. More in particular by Raul's recommendation.

Regards,
Dear Raul, I assume that you made a typo by 'promoting'
Banquo's XL 33 to XL 55 'status'. My own interest is involved
because I hope to obtain the XL 55. If your XL 44
is somehow 'better' than the XL 55 you are using 'top line'
argument in some other sense than you are used to do . Say, those Signets and the arguments against Halcro and Professor who prefer lower kind ( 3-7) above the above
ranked kinds. Halcro btw even refused to cosider my kind offer
of my beatuful Signet 9 CL (NOS!). I, on the other side, bought
the Signet 7 E as a proof of my own open mind (grin).

Regards,
