monaro8 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Hello members, I've acquired this rare wonderful sounding cartridge with excellent condition stylus and am keen to find out more info. about it. Moving Flux design....sounds kind of sexy..... Sonically it has creamy midrange with airy highs....nice well rounded bass....vocals are especially wonderful. Have searched the internet with little success. I believe it to be one of the very high end models produced by Glanz So, does anyone know anything about this beauty? Thank you....Vanch...
VanArn Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Virtually everything you need to know about the Mitachi/Glanz/Astatic moving flux cartridges can be found at the Vinyl Engine site,including the patent No,s.
monaro8 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks guys, the first place I searched was Vinyl Engine....it does not have any information on this model cartridge. Have looked & looked for any information on Google Search with little success...not even one photo of this cartridge anywhere so I was hoping someone here might have known about it or had owned one in the past. No luck so far....
elcamry Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Vanch in the UK HiFi Choice magazine August 1990 is a article ,maybe a review that I cant access , maybe you can.
monaro8 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 Had a look but am not able to access the information. I did come across a similar stylus on Ebay USA which I bought and am hoping will fit my cartridge as a back-up. Will know in a couple of weeks. Cheers....V
jdog Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 you have to use a flux capacitor as the phono stage for the best results
monaro8 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Might need to go Back to the Future to find one of those....... :bump:
monaro8 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Posted April 11, 2014 Well the replacement stylus arrived today from the US, and.... Bugger me....it fits beautifully. And.... Bugger me....it sounds as good as it fits. Very smooth and mellow, neutral sounding to my ears. Nice balance, tight deep bass well rounded, wonderful midrange great with vocals etc. Very pleased indeed....
