Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,I think you'e spot on. Gains in a more direct circuit for signal transmission is one advantage (incidentally, I've just bought a ADC XLM-1 (NOS) with its take on the integrated headshell and am keen for its arrival) along with ease of setting...

All,Just one additional factor that makes the Glanz G5 a true joy: so long as the tonearm mounting position is spot on you just need to set VTF and VTA. Everything else (SRA and overhang) disappear as issues. Given what I am hearing at this early ...

Siniy123,Many thanks again. I am currently using it to excellent effect in a high mass tonearm. However, I really want more rigorous information and comparisons as a key part of the learning curve that I am hoping to go on with this remarkable car...

Siniy123,Many thanks again. Is there anywhere that I might find the Astatic MF series linked to the Glanz line? Also, as always, anything further would be truly appreciated.For example, is it true that you cannot set effective length/overhang nor ...

Siniy123,Many thanks. I could not open the link but think it's the same one as I have seen on vinylengine. Given your thoughts on the parallels between these Glanz and the MF-100: what are your thoughts on the performance of the MF-100? Do you hav...

Thrmonicavenger,Many thanks for this. Do you know about any difference in sound and performance between the MFG line and the G line? Also, do you recall how the two lines were esteemed at that time?Raul,Again, many thanks. I think that is correct ...

Hi All,I just had another thought. The G5 and G3 cartridges are not noted in the French review of the Glanz range. Could these products be later, German productions? I'm dubious about that argument though, if only due to the serialisation of the r...

Todd,Many thanks. I saw this but am very dubious about it. All,In fact, I have already seen all of these pieces (for which I am truly grateful) and this only heightened my curiousity. The claim that Glanz is German would seem to be substantiated b...

Hi All,Someone on this thread mentioned having tried Glanz cartridges along with a range of notable others. I have just purchased the Glanz G5 and would love any feedback on this and its performance. It's proving almost impossible to find any info...

Hi Raul,Precisely. I think REG said it well in conluding:"Everyone is entitled to personal tastes, but truth is truth. If you want to hear something like the truth, I still say-no matter what everyone else is using-that you should buy a flat-top c...
