Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Dear Dgob, Your description of both of your 'love affairs'
is writen in prose but reads like a poem. The problem, or what looks like a problem is that neither of those carts is available to us, the 'mere mortals' as Henry would say.
This however is a typical pragmatic consideration in which a Dutchman would be very interested.
The other people with a more romantic inclination, like some Serbians would ask different kind of questions with no practical sense whatever.
To give you one exampel. According to Marlon Brando the most questions he got were about:' deed you do it with Marlyn Monroe and if so HOW WAS SHE?
Considering the fact that your 'poem' is about two carts would you be so kind to give us some other name for the comparison sake?

Regards,

Hi All,

Sorry but one final(ish) word of reflection on the above themes.

My reference to the greater refinement of the Technics set up over the Glanz one, can be 'partially' understood in the light of the notable distinctions in (Technics 1.2 mv/Glanz 4.2 mv) their output voltage.

When I note that apparently heightened refinement a better way of appreciating what I am trying to get at might also be to follow the Martin Colloms assessment in light of a perspective obtained from 'distinct seating positions in the same venue'. The Glanz is more front row perspective and the Technics more mid-stalls.

I have already suggested the importance of venue differentiations and some relevant literature (on Raul's MM/MI thread) when assessing component performance and their proximity to a "real life musical performance". These two options bring that distinction and the supporting literature into startling relief. In that perspective the Glanz might be seen as offering the perspective more of a stage side table in your favourite jazz bar compared to the Technics offering more of a back of hall perspective in a large and more acoustically treated hall. Both unbelievably great. And both with my sincerest recommendation.

As always...

Hi Nandric,

:~). I appreciate the point but I really do believe that all the noted components will come up for sale in the future. Every item that I have sought I have managed to obtain sooner or later (MC's obviously withstanding, as I am about to become manic in a whole new way!)

If I come across them before you do, I will drop you a line.

As always...

Halcro, I can be of help if you still need the 155Lc.
