Raul,Look, you and I have some obvious disagreements and you tend to interpret things in a very negative and small spirited way.How and why did you find out that "hidden" fact - about my initial set-up?I do dispair at times! I hide nothing and you...

Raul,On my suggestions, they stem from your willingness to cast opinions about everything and every cartridge ever made and enter a thread about Glanz before declaring:"I don't want to follow on this Glanz subjects. I think I already write my opin...

Raul,Your confusion is easily answered. 1, I was using the AP-300S, which did not quite meet the overhang.2. I replaced it with my MC-A armwand which does.Your comprehension skills and mental stability not withstanding, I hope that helpsCheers again 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Royj,Wow and I am grateful for your presence. I will watch your discoveries and contributions with real interest. I think this is the type of thing (first hand experience, humbleness and a willingness to continue to learn) that makes Audiogon a gr...

Hi All,Just a quick noted about the design of the G series Glanz cartridges. The distance between stylus tip and end of afixed headshell is 50mm. It uses silver connector cables in the headshell. Once afixed to your tonearm, the key issue is that ...

Raul,I hear your opinion and appreciate the received logic that underpins it. It is too difficult to explain the lengths and depth of testing that this has gone through.Really, and honestly, if you get the chance you need to hear this cartridge. T...

I have been testing the Glanz G5 extensively and I've grown more impressed with each comparison that it has undergone in relation to other renowned cartridges. A curiousity around its stellar performance is the fact that I use mine in my Audiocraf... 
Using an Empire 1000 ZE/X
Texray,Many thanks for your kind feedback. However, I have already exchanged my 1000 ZE/X with another Agoner for his Audio Technica AT20 SLa. I was unsatisfied with the 1000 ZE/X but that might have been due to system dependency or faults with th...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul @ 01-17-17,YES, I wholly agree with your Orotofon/Astatic/B&O comparison. If you ever get the chance, please, please, please try the Glanz G5, G7 or MFG-71E. I am sure that your findings will put these among the VERY best performers and r...

Hi All,For information, I contacted the UK Ortofon representative who informed me that: "The bodies of the FL and FL Super were both supposed to be gold (to differentiate it from the VMS series). However, it may be that, at the end of production, ...
