Founded by master engineer Masataka Hamada in Numazu, Japan, Glanz was reborn in recent years under Hamada Electric after decades of reverence among audiophiles. Originally developed at Mitachi Acoustics, Glanz has long been celebrated for its exquisite tonearms and cartridges that embody the pursuit of “original pure sound.”

Guided by Hamada’s design philosophy—to create a tonearm filled with nostalgia—each Glanz piece is handcrafted with uncompromising precision, blending stainless steel craftsmanship, mechanical innovation, and artistic beauty. Every product undergoes meticulous tuning and listening tests to ensure unparalleled fidelity.

Today, Glanz stands as the ultimate expression of Japanese engineering and musical authenticity, a legendary brand resurrected to deliver the truest analogue sound imaginable.
