| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Japanese eBay seller just listed “Glanz Astatic MF-100” for $280.00 without box of course. It seems he just randomly list these Glanz/Astatic models one at a time. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Shure V15mr models used Beryllium along with a few different Audio Technica models. You all probably know it, but The manufacturer of these beryllium cantilevers stopped production because of the dangerous toxins released when machining. And I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Bluz Bros supposedly has the JAMO MF-10 Cartridge. It sports a .2 x .7 nude elliptical.looks like the Astatic/Glanz body. Maybe similar to the Astatic MF 300. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Harold, I’d also like to hear your opinion about Astatic 2500 compared to the Glanz 610LX. You really seem to like the Glanz and you recommended I buy it. Since hardly any of us will get to own the Astatic 2500, It be interesting to know how close... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I’d bet the motors are identical design but different coils, cantilever type and suspension plus diamond profile so of could they’ll sound a little different. Go ahead Harold, rip em apart we want to see the different guts of these things. Kiddin... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So, Some Astatic models featuring a better cantilever than Glanz. The motor design are probably the same though. Right? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think the only reason the Astatic has higher output is more coil windings, not some “better” design. MM Cartridges with low output 4mv or lower work best in my system because of my high gain phono amp and preamp. And I notice most TOTL MM cartri... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Japanese eBay seller of the Glanz MFG-610LX has a stock of 10 left. These were the newer version of the MFG-61. Could be the same, better or slightly lower performance of the MFG-61, we know sometimes newer isn’t better. From what I gathered,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Could it be that Glanz chose a mediocre aluminum type cantilever? And some other brands designed better ones? That could be the reason the lower models all sound very close and the much better design of the boron and better tip makes a big improve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? halcro, what’s your reference or favorite cartridges? Were any of the MM models discussed on this thread favorites of yours? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, I bought one. It seems this cartridge was very rare and highly regarded. So I thought I’d better just buy it before it’s sold out. I’ve read a thread about this model at another forum. One poster that owns some of the best TOTL models fr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I’ve read on another forum about this Glanz model, the owners are very satisfied highly praised the performance, but a little concerned that it’s a low rider, not being sure if that’s normal for these models? I asked the EBay seller how many he ha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I also like MI types. I might try a moving flux type eventually. I sent an offer to the Japan seller of the Glanz MFG610, he wouldn’t agree. I’m not willing to spend $450.00 right now. But maybe at a later date. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think different materials can alter the character of the sound a little. I thought I heard difference between maple and slate arm pods on my homemade slate plinth. I ended up preferring the maple wood, a warmer sound. I could be nuts though too.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? How’s the Glanz MFG 610 stack up against other favorites? It has the boron and special tip along with moving flux design. Seems it could be a great bargain and available at eBay. |
