Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Dear Henry, You are right: in comparison with our Professor
we are 'mere mortals'. He just 'explained' to me how 'simpel' the nomenclature of AT and Signet cart is????
This reminds me of my best friend at high school who try
to convince me that mathematics is 'actually' very simpel. He had obviously no idea how insulting this opinion of his was for me. This measerable postfix 'Ea' to which I pay no
attention whatever means that I bought the worst and the oldest model 7. My euphoria as expressed with: 'My gosh I at last got one' was obviously premature. The drama is even worst because there is no way to improve the situation with the 155 LC implant which I would get for free from a friend from a developing , but big country.
Regarding my former , former Yugoslavia there is a huge comfort in the fact that only few people are architect. This kind of human kind admire only their own work and are in particular never satisfy with the work of their colleauque. As I undertand there is some kind of nostaligia for the former Yugoslavia such that a horde of Slovenian and even those damn Croats travel to Beograd for the booze (the best Sliwowitz there is) and the folk music. Nobody care about the buildings if those are not own property.

Dear Dgob, We will return to your 'thematics' as soon as anyone succeed to find any of those misterious Glanz carts.

Hi Nandric,

"Dear Dgob, We will return to your 'thematics' as soon as anyone succeed to find any of those misterious Glanz carts."

Totally acceptable by me and no sarcasm intended in my response to Timeltel. Just reading it back I can see how I might have lent to that impression.

Oh oh.......just received a full refund from StereoNeedles for my PayPal payment for the 155Lc stylus.
Seems that Paypal won't allow them to send merchandise outside the USA even though they process the payment?
Strange.......out of the hundreds of International PayPal transactions I have conducted over the years........and to every man and his dog on EBay who has no such restrictions......StereoNeedles are the exception?
Back to square one........there is no source for 155Lc styli outside of the continental USA?

Hi Halcro,

Sad to hear the bad news regarding your quest. I am certain there is a way around this however. If you have a friend (or A'gon associate) in America, I am certain that you could arrange for them to receive and pass it on to you!

Good luck

As always...

Hi All,

Well I just completed the revamp of my Morch DP6 Precision red point (with the kind help from Hans Moerch) and have now played it in its platonic partnership with my Axelised Technics EPC P100C MkIV.

In setting up, I spent a good time ensuring alignment. This resulted in my discarding the Morch 18mm template and adopting the Feikert (Baerwald) protractor for pivot-spindle mounting distance; overhang; effective length; angular offset and linear offset. It then involved ensuring absolute accuracy in azimuth setting of the cartridge by adjustments of the Morch using its hexagonal screw adjuster: this seems important as the P-mount Technics needs to account for its mounting adaptor and potential idiosyncracies. My adaptor follows Raul's recommendation and has had the original pins removed so that the silver lugs on my Morch connect directly to the pins on the Technics. VTF was set at 1.255g and VRA parallel to around 1 degree positive: for all intents and purpose, that's parallel. A spot of SC-2 high technology stylus cleaning fluid on a stylus brush followed by a quick clean of the cartridge tip. Then use the Entos carbon record brush and I was set to go.

I played records with the Essential in mute for ten hours and then turned it on and sat back. Wow, wow and WOW!!! I do not believe analogue reproduced sound can get any better than this. Every detail, every nuance, ever emotion laid bare right before my eyes-hears. The length of strengths are so extensive that I do not believe I could do them justice in anything less than a four page eulogy and I am not inclined (even 'if' capable) to give such an extended and largely personal account. Suffice it to say, I could find NO weakness in the performance of this Morch/Technics combination and would hope other combinations enable everyone to share the shear exhilaration and pleasure that they now afford me. Magnifincent.

The question is: how does that leave my Glanz G7/Audio Craft AC3300 LB combination? The answer is that this combination gives the same presentation except with a smidgen less refinement. Please do not get this wrong. I still find this combination wholly convincing but the two combinations seeem to display different aesthetic objectives and aims of their design teams. Think same music in two acoustically very distinct venues and you're nearly there. I am finished in my search for a life-long MM/MI/MF collection and the Glanz and Technics are my point of arrival.

Now my search turns to their equivalents for my final MC selections. Fun times ahead.

As always...
