Dear Dgob, I can't resist to report about my new acquired Glanz 71 l. I compared my new 'treausure' with the AT 150 ANV for about 5 hours. No contest. The Glanz is much better and nearly as good as the Glanz 5. I noticed the same cantilever/stylus as by Glanz 5. The cantilever is a cone like construction, complete different from the 31 version. I am not willing to buy those 'cantilever material' arguments. That is to say if the arguments don't mention the alloy of which the cantilever is made. The facts are that my best carts are all with 'aluminum'(alloy) cantilever: FR-7, Takeda's Myabi, Andreoli's Magic Diamond, Glanz 5 , Glanz 71 L and 31 L. Only my Benz LP S is in the same leaque with a boron cantilever. I also don't buy the 'break in time'. If the producer 'tuned' the cart to his best capabilities how is it possible that the same cart will perform much better after, say, 40 hours of use? In this sense I must confess that my AT 150 ANV is not 'broken in' (what an expression) but this cart sounds 'digital' to me. To pronounced mid/high frequenties.In contradistinction the Glanz 71 l does not accentuate any frequency domain and sounds as an equal whole. The cart was second hand and obviously 'warmed up' already. I need to thank you , dear Dgob, for your introduction to those remarcable Glanz carts. If only Vetterone would be so kind to swap with me his 61 for my Glanz 5 for some listening period of time.
