| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Chris,Yes, one of them is the LAC. My other one, with the black back plate is not the Gold however but the older clip fixed version. I believe these three are the only 4000D/III models but I have never owned or heard the Gold version. I would o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel,I own both the black (original) and white (original) Empire 4000D/III cartridges. I would test both if you have an opportunity and decide for yourself. The LAC version will not disappoint.As always... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi Nandric,That is no small disappointment. The Glanz 1G-55R is a notably lower end Glanz and I think the seller needs to refund your money. Maybe it is a genuine mistake and he has simply boxed the items wrongly.Fingers crossed and let us know.As... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,You can see a picture of my type of model at: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://otokazerobo.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2008/11/empire-4000diii.html&ei=SBHHT7amKqTS0QWF-by8Dw&sa=X&oi=translate&... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,Your description matches my 4000d/III LAC model- right down to the scuffed lettering. The end with the cartridge pins has white plastic squares with the red, green, white and blue dots on them. Everything else is gold except the stylus, w... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi Nandric,Hopefully, your Glanz wont let down the performance standards set by your other new acquisitions.I look forward to hearing.As always... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Incidentally,The price quoted for the MG-70 (£1.5k) is around the price I paid for my own Glanz, which were in immaculate condition. It's not cheap for moving magnets but it's still better than a MC of anywhere near their performance levels (not t... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi Nandric,I'm wondering if Glanz (as with other manufacturers of the time) might have released several ranges. That would mean that the normal (Line contact or elliptical) options in their already discussed MFG range could exist along side the MF... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi All,Regarding the differences and similarities between the Glanz and Astatic range, I thought the following detail with the various patents that underpin these might prove enlightening:"4072823 1978 Minamizono 'Mitachi Onkyo Seisakusho (brand n... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi Vetterone,That sounds fascinating about the MFG-61. I had made the assumption that you note which probably points back to the lack of available information. Along these lines, I'd be interested in seeing any Glanz cartridge literature that you ... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Sorry Nandric, I have never heard it. However, if it is the MFG-61'L', it should be a good buy. I think that if you can get it at a reasonable price, it will be useful just to explore for yourself. Obviously, I do rate the Glanz that I have tried ... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges The above obviously relates to additional couplings and mechanical response - although not really treating of the issues surrounding coupling disparate build materials. The universal headshell and fixing screws are of course, as has already been p... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi All,Fleib posted the following on the MM/MI thread:"Using a removable headshell you're much more likely to have vibrations remain in the headshell as they hit the headshell coupling. I have some arms with removable headshells, and I think this ... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi All,Does anyone know of or have anything useful to say about the following? http://www.sibatech.co.jp/glanz/index.html.I am just concidering their potential performance and how might match with the G series so I would appreciate any information... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Sorry Nadric,It's early here and so I just spotted the linguistic link (shine, glanz). I would hope that the repeating on the MM/MI thread might bring more Glanz users forward. I'd still like the forms of discussion around set up tips, tonearm mat... |
