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

I don't know the Glanz line, but I have Astatic MF-100 and MF-200 cartridges. They are exceptionally fine, IMHO. The sound is similar to a Grado Signature 8, but with better extension at both ends. I posted a pic on Vinyl engine of that odd pivot through the top of the widely tapered cantilever. The patent referred to previously shows it (thanks).

Cheers,
Alec
