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.

That’s great news!  I was considering that tonearm and was advised it wouldn’t be available as a stand alone product.  However, I’ll visit my guy in Japan tomorrow as I’m guessing he might have access to that tonearm. 
 

Much appreciated reply.

Hi all responders,

 

im now considering just going with the PD-191A. 

Im not an expert when it comes to high mass, compliance and such.

What could I do to make the stock tonearm of the PD-191A more favorable towards the Tsugaru?  Headshells were mentioned.  Any favorites?

Or maybe the Glanz MH-10Bt is better on the PD-171A?

That makes perfect sense.

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