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

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.

Dear Raul, the adding up 'theory' leeds to infinite regress.
What are we supposed to do with 'distortions' that we
are not able to hear? Whatever componets we own
the unknown one may have 'less distortion'. How are we
supposed to get the right unknown component of any kind?
My friend Henry just spend a huge amount of money for the
'right cables' and then hear from you that he likes some
peculiar kinds of distortions ,probale caused by the wrong
tonearm geometry. Ie Stivenson. And then to think that
by drilling a hole which is only 1,5 mm larger he could
adjust his both FR tonearms also for Bearwald.
