Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Addendum 2, Well according to the logic of identity 'everything is identical with it self'. According to some logician :' Glanz 5 = Glanz 5' is true because of the meaning. Aka 'analytic truth'. However I made an error. My intention was to state that Glanz 5 is the same as the Astatic FM 200.

Regards,

Wait, Nicola, didn't you start out by saying that the Glanz MF51 appeared identical to the MF (FM?) 200?

If so, then Glanz MF51 = Astatic MF200 = Glanz 5. Clearly, something is rotten in Denmark.

Nothing to comment on Glanz/Astatic other that the MF-200 is an stellar performer. On the MM/MI thread are my experiences with Glanz, nothing that the MF-200 can't do it, even I don't have any more the Glanz.

I know that for Dgob Glanz is his star but not for me, period.

regards and enjoy the music,

Raul,

I have documented comment from yourself that you have NEVER heard a Glanz, but that you decided not to listen to any of their "G" range because of some prejudice you have about integrated cartridges. Has this position changed recently? If it has I would love to know the persons from whom you bought and to whom you sold it/them - as well as the experience you had and with which Glanz!

The links you reposted are clearly answered and developed on within the course of this thread but that might demand a closer reading. For example, I thought you were aware that I have fully assessed the Astatic/Glanz relationship and can confirm that the performance differences are as marked as the noted construction similarities. All of this is set out in this thread.

Of course, if prejudice is allowed to govern your experience, you can reject anything you like. I would like to think that you would not spread such blind prejudice and ignorance but we are obviously very different people.

As always...

Hi Nandric,

I think we can appreciate your confusion in two statements:

1. "Raul and Dgob have, uh, the same 'teste'. The 'mystery' solved by Nandric?" and

2. "My intention was to state that Glanz 5 is the same as the Astatic FM 200"

Whatever the validity of the former view, I hope the above response to Raul answers your latter.

As always...
