Dear Dgob, I am so excited with my Glanz 5 that I want
to say something about this cart despite the fact that
I am far from the needed 'break-in' time. Just 4 hours of
listening. An important part of my excitement consist
of the fact that I surpassed Vetteron's MFG 61 for which I
actually searched all this time. But I am willing
to exchange this treasure for one of his best plinths.
Anyway the cart is unbelievable dynamic, more so than my
previous 'dynamic champion' Miyabi Standard. As if the
orchestra and artist are in your listening room. The first
cart by which one can't reach the volume by which the sound
level become unbearable. Like by an real concert. The timbre
is different from all other carts I own. I will need to
accomodate to this novelty. The cart is much lighter than my
FR-7 and has its stylus at exactly the same position as the FR-7 .
But I don't believe that either is meant as Bearwald because
they 'refuse' to follow my Mint LP protractor's curve which
is made for my FR-64 S according to the Bearwald geometry.
So I need to try the original Ikeda's 'prescription'
and move the FR-64 to 230 mm pivot-spindle distance. This is
the most difficult adjustment I know off. But well exciting.
You see: excitment all the way.
Regards,
