Glanz moving magnet cartridges


Hi,

I have just acquired an old Glanz G5 moving magnet cartridge. However, I cannot find out any details about this or the Glanz range or, even the company and its history.

Can anyone out there assist me in starting to piece together a full picture?

Any experiences with this or other Glanz's; web links; set up information etc would be warmly received. Surely someone knows something!

Thanks in hope

Dear nandric: +++++ " there is no way to avoid distortions with any pivoted tonearm " ++++

there is no way to avoid it with any tonearm and if our target is to achieve lower distortions then the cartridge/tonearm/headshell/ set up/accuracy alignment is of paramount importance: each single alignment parameter. Seems to me that for some of us the importance level that we give to each parameter is different and between other things that's why differences in what we heard, I mean: more " wider " differences due to wider/higher distortions on that analog set up/alignment.

Years ago almost no one took care on cartridge cantilever alignment and today we all know the critical importance on this parameter as on the AZ or overhang.
I think all of us already learned about but things are that some of us are not to " anal " about.

We know what is the best to each one and that's how we decide and decided what to do or where to be " anal " or not.

Nandric: The other critical side about is that if our audio system has not the necessary resolution level then we can't hear we can't be aware of an accurate set up/alignment against a " so, so " set up because the audio system can't shows those differences.

and of course that we/our self have the knowledge level to distinguish between mere distortions ( any kind ) and music, because sometime what we think is music in reality is only " nice " distortions.
