Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Dear Vetterone, Glad to see you got at last some free
time for the discussion with the common mortals. I assume
that even inventions can be boring from time to time?
Well our Dover knows about human nature so he posted some
pictures as proof for the exsistance of this misterious
Glanz 61. I want mention the Almighty in this context but
think about the money we in Europe spend for Cern in
order to show that those small Higs particles exist.
Now if you and Dover could hear the Glanz 5 you both would
be able to make a real interesting comparison. BTW I am
still wiling to swap my Glanz 5 for one of your plinths
for my SP 10. What about this generous proposal?

Vetterone,
2nd day of listening, the top end has smoothed out considerably and I lightened the tracking force. I suspect the cartridge suspension was a bit stiff initially and is now running in. The capture of the body of instruments and inner detail through the midrange is quite exceptional. One of my many tests for transparency is Jimmy Witherspoon - 1959 Monterey Jazz Festival - recorded live on Everest ( in a noisy bar ) - bags of ambient noise, booming mikes, bar talk etc and great music - passes with flying colours.

Dearest Nandric, As Booker T sang, Time is Tight and as I get older, it becomes more and more valuable but it is worth every minute I spend reading your cerebral thoughts.

Are you OK Nandric? I am concerned you may have had a stroke or suffered a severe head injury. Your offer of trading your G5 for one of my SP10 plinths is so crazy generous I am concerned for your health. I could never take advantage of you like that, I would never be able to live with myself. Besides, I have my own G5.

Hi Dover, so glad to hear you are hearing what the '61 can do for your rig. I think mine continued to smooth out on top and deliver more vocal textures and bigger, tighter bass for around 20-25 hours.

I wish everyone could hear this, especially Nandric. Seriously, I wish there could be a way to build this cartridge again. Alas, that seems doubtful.

In an ordinal system like Glanz ranking order the numbers
on the carts express their place in this ranking. Consequently
the top of the Glanz carts is numbered as: 31, 51, 61 and 71.
As far as I know I am the only one who owns the 71. Sorry fellows.
