Glanz moving magnet cartridges
T_bone,Many thanks for your kind imput. I'm now feeling slightly more informed about the Glanz and their history. I just need to play them in other conditions in order to have a definitive view on their performance but, at the moment, the G5 sound... 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Hi All,I recently asked a technician who is a friend in Japan for any information on my Glanz cartridges. His initial and fairly brief response was as follows:"Glanz is very good cartridge and performance is excellent... Phono cartridge for this b... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Just one point of clarification,I am of course using the Moerch DP6 with the Precision head (not the thinner standard). This allow me to do away with the additional link of add-on headshell cables.I'm not certain how the retirement/lifetime DP6 th... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul/T_bone,On the issue of cartridge lines, prices and performance: I'd add that the Glanz cartridges are a case in point. The design of the G5 and G7 appear to be widely different and the price of the latter was/is greater. However, the performa... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,With the Technics' open adaptor and the silver through connector wires on the Moerch, there was no option but to make a direct connection between the cartridge pins and tonearm wires. And yes, this does make a very important difference to opt... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Siniy123,I really don't know. With little to no technical interest myself, I simply sent mine off to VdH and they refreshed it to the (very good!) state it's in now. It might be true though as they also addressed a noted brittleness in my boron. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi All,Just to reiterate that the Technics EPC-P100c Mk4 is indeed a phenomenal cartridge. I've been playing mine on a Moerch DP6 red point tonearm at 1.25g VTF since the VdH touch-up. VTA is indeed also really important. I'm now playing mine at a... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Jeff,Financial issues apart, it seems to me that the property remains yours and Gunther is obliged to return it (as you say, repaired or unrepaired). I would continue to press as I know that Gunther is often tied up in the actual production and te... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Jeff,Did you seek to contact Otto? My experience was similar to yours with the Alpha but once I got a new one I have not had any problems and it is performing like an angel (touch wood).Maybe Aramis2007 can give you another positive perspective fo... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,Interesting views as always. I wonder if different and superior are always so easily distinguished! That's what I'll seek to find out with my Glanz cartridges using my Technics 100Mk4 as the standard.Incidentally, regarding your stock records... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,I am truly pleased to see that you are appreciating the merits of an integrated cartridge. I am comtemplating having VdH touch up my Glanz G5 and G7 cartridges but need more time to be fully ingrained in what they do in their current and orig...

Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge?
Siniy123,A typically thought provoking and interesting take on the performance of MCs and IMs compared to MMs. Something to consider and explore in the days ahead.Thanks

Hi All,I have recently received my Technics EPC-P100 MK4 back from Van den Hul following his full treatment of it. It's only had 8 hours play in this new condition so far but WOW! It does sound different to its previous state but I had bought it N...
