Glanz G-60
The Glanz G-60 comes from the Japanese brand and sits in the upper mid range of MM designs. Its 2.5 mV output works into a standard MM phono input. The nude elliptical stylus tracks from 1.25 to 1.75 g with 1.5 g nominal. The replaceable stylus carries the M-60 designation in the catalogue.

Additional Info
The Glanz G-60, built on an MF moving flux generator of the MM family, speaks with a warm, forgiving voice. Vocals sit natural and full-bodied, never etched or fatiguing, while the nude elliptical stylus on a tapered cantilever pulls out fine detail and a stable, well-focused stage without turning bright. Bass stays present rather than lean, kind to jazz, vocal records and imperfect pressings alike. The stylus carries the M-60 designation and swaps as an insert.

G-60 (MM) compatible. Requires heavy tonearm (>12g) for optimal tracking. Gain 43–46 dB sufficient for standard preamps. Low capacitance suits quality cables; minimize runs. Compliance moderate—avoid light arms. Excellent match for quality turntables with proper isolation.
