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 somebody else told me this about you my answer would be: 'you have no idea what you are talking about. Our Vetterone is an inventor, open minded guy who
would never state such a strong minded opinion regarding the comparison between one known and some totally unknow cart.'
But the facts are the facts. His curiosity should also be questioned because he refused to exchange one of his plinths which he produce himself for one rare, impossible to get and exceptional cart. I had no idea that the American debts would have such an impact on the (his) human nature.
Of course you could go a buy a Vestax cartridge, a Glanz in drag produced by Mitachi. Mitachi, one of the largest manufacturers for tonearms and cartridges, . specialized for 30 years in this product area and also developed into a major supplier for Technics, Yamaha, Hitachi, Denon, Pioneer, Sony, JVC and Onkyo.
Dear Dover, In Holland 'we' say:'butter by the fish'.
Without any ranking of those Vestax cartridge as well as
some comparison with the 'carts of the month' this looks
like the general statement 'we all are Gods children'.
Strange however that Thuchan , who is a 1/2
Japanese according to Raul, confused Mitachi with Mitsubishi.
For anyone interested, there is currently an Audio Technica ATML-170 OCC for sale on eBay UK.
Dear Dgob, I assume everybody is interested but you forget
to mention that this one is without the stylus.
