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 Dgob, I am so excited with my Glanz 5 that I want
to say something about this cart despite the fact that
I am far from the needed 'break-in' time. Just 4 hours of
listening. An important part of my excitement consist
of the fact that I surpassed Vetteron's MFG 61 for which I
actually searched all this time. But I am willing
to exchange this treasure for one of his best plinths.
Anyway the cart is unbelievable dynamic, more so than my
previous 'dynamic champion' Miyabi Standard. As if the
orchestra and artist are in your listening room. The first
cart by which one can't reach the volume by which the sound
level become unbearable. Like by an real concert. The timbre
is different from all other carts I own. I will need to
accomodate to this novelty. The cart is much lighter than my
FR-7 and has its stylus at exactly the same position as the FR-7 .
But I don't believe that either is meant as Bearwald because
they 'refuse' to follow my Mint LP protractor's curve which
is made for my FR-64 S according to the Bearwald geometry.
So I need to try the original Ikeda's 'prescription'
and move the FR-64 to 230 mm pivot-spindle distance. This is
the most difficult adjustment I know off. But well exciting.
You see: excitment all the way.

Regards,
Hi Nandric,

I am really, really pleased that you also now own this gem. I cannot say just how much I still believe the G5 will reward you in the days ahead.

It's also great to have another tonearm (the FR-64 S)through which I can compare its performance. I look forward to swapping notes and impressions.

As always...
Damn you guys!
May your coils boil and your needles spread eagle.
May your gloating visages freeze in the changing winds and may your balls drop off!
Hi Halcro,

I hope to be listening to great music when those outcomes manifest:)

If I see another one come up before you do, I will let you know.

As always...
Dear Dgob, As a imperturbable English gentleman who speak
real English will you be so kind to explain to me what this
outburst from our Aussie friend means? Is he threaten us,
teasing us or is he making jokes about us? We the Serbian
warriors need to know the real intentions in order to react
in an adequate way. That is to say: we like teasing and jokes
but if whoever dare to threaten us there is no other way than
to start a war.

Kind regards,
