Experience with Glanz MH-10Bt? Luxman PD-171A

I’m considering upgrading the stock Jelco type tonearm on my Luxman PD-171A.  My go to guy in Japan is suggesting the Glanz MH-10Bt tonearm. Glanz also has an attractive mounting option for this specific turntable.  

I’m using a Koetsu Black gold line.  However, I have an Urishi Tsugaru new in the box that I’m saving for a better tonearm.

My phonostage is a Line Magnetic that I plan on upgrading to either a Zesto or BAT VK-90P.  Record mat in use is a SAEC-300mk2.

Does anyone have listening experience with this tonearm?  Other suggestions are welcome for both tonearm and phonostage.  I like the dust cover so it’s important to me that I can close it without interference.

There is nothing wrong matching the Urushi Tsugaru with the Luxman LTA-710. You are trying to match the tonearm to a given cartrige. It should be the other way round.

That makes perfect sense.

I’ve made a decision where I’m going with this. It’s just not going to happen over night.

I got the Glanz MH-10Bt with its respective mount and couldn’t be more satisfied with the results.
 

It perfectly matches my Koetsu Urushi Tsugaru (Yamamoto HS-6) and Black Goldline (Glanz headshell).
 

All aspects across the sonic spectrum have improved. Solidity of imaging and deep effortless and extend bass. 

It should be mentioned that I am also using a SAEC SS-300 MKII mat.

 

This completes the PD-171A.
