EMPIRE 2000E/III Cartridge w/ Empire S912E Stylus Tested Sounds Excellent Nice This is an EMPIRE 2000E/III cartridge. It is used. The stylus is a genuine Empire S912E. It is 0.3x0.7 mi bonded elliptical, examined with 20x and 100x magnification. It shows no signs of wear. It has been thoroughly inspected, tested, and listen tested. It has been evaluated with computer analysis. It tracks well and sounds very good. Nuts, bolts, and other mounting hardware are not included with this item. However, I do have an assortment of fasteners, and I may be able to include some at no additional cost. Message me with any questions or comments. Combined shipping is OK. No returns please. This item will be shipped well packed in recycled materials. I have noticed that, sometimes, the eBay shipping estimates can be way off, so message me for an accurate quote to your location.

All of the cartridge/stylus combinations I sell are sold AS IS - in working condition. I do not offer ANY type of refund, exchange, or return on these cartridge/stylus combinations. If you have an issue with sibilance, it probably means that the cartridge/stylus is not a good match for your tonearm. Not that there is anything defective with this cartridge or stylus. Note: The cantilever (the thin silver tube which the stylus tip is mounted to) is the fragile part of the stylus assembly. The stylus needs to be handled carefully. If the buyer breaks or bends the cantilever when un-packaging, inserting the stylus assembly into the cartridge, or handling the cartridge once the stylus is mounted, I will not be held responsible. This includes while mounting the cartridge to your headshell. It is best to mount your cartridge somewhat loosely first. Then install the stylus. Once the stylus is mounted into the cartridge, adjust the cartridge for the correct overhang for your particular turntable. If you are unfamiliar or inexperienced with installing, mounting, & adjusting cartridges/styli, please have an experienced professional do the installation for you.

Empire 2000E Cartridge w/ NOS Astatic “Shibata” Stylus This listing is for one used Empire 2000E cartridge. The cartridge was “checked” with an Ohmmeter & the results are posted in two of the photos. The readings are very close & have a difference of less than 0.1%. The included stylus is a Black NOS Astatic “Shibata”. (Photos 21 ~ 24 were taken from the Astatic NMR Series PDF file I have.) As you can see the package is stamped EM115-DQ. There are two styli listed in the catalog with that number. Someone marked over the 5 on the package with a 2. That matches both what is in the package, a black stylus, & what is listed in the catalog for the EM112-DQ - a black stylus. This stylus should have a bonded “Shibata” tip & a tracking force of 1 ~ 1¾ grams. It has a flip-down stylus guard.

PS: nackter Diamant war bei Empire immer ein Diasa-Tip, also Sapphire Schaft mit geklebtem Diamanten. Selbst beim 2000Z gab es keinen wirklich nackten Diamanten. Fantasisch klingen die Tonabnehmer trotzdem.

? Pioneer/Empire CE2000E (2000E) Cartridge w/ Empire S2000E Stylus - J This listing is for one used Pioneer/Empire CE2000E cartridge. The CE2000E was the originally supplied cartridge on the Pioneer PL-518 & PL-514 turntables. It is the same as the Empire 2000E. The cartridge was “checked” with an Ohmmeter & the results are posted in two of the photos. The readings are close & a difference of less than 2.1%. The cartridge body had numerous spots where the paint had chipped off. I touched up the spots with model paint. I tried to show this in photos 5 ~ 7. The included stylus is a used, genuine Empire S2000E. It is in excellent condition. There is a slight indentation on the right side of the cantilever – shown in many of the photos. It will not affect the sound output. The stylus has a .3 x .7 mil elliptical tip & the tracking force is 1 ~ 3 grams. Also included is the shown set of mounting hardware. Since the cartridge was “checked” with an Ohmmeter, & this combination has been visually checked, there are NO returns or refunds. This item will require an adults’ signature for delivery. All of the cartridge/stylus combinations I sell are sold AS IS - in working condition. I do not offer ANY type of refund, exchange, or return on these cartridge/stylus combinations. If you have an issue with sibilance, it probably means that the cartridge/stylus is not a good match for your tonearm. Not that there is anything defective with this cartridge or stylus. Note: The cantilever (the thin silver tube which the stylus tip is mounted to) is the fragile part of the stylus assembly. The stylus needs to be handled carefully. If the buyer breaks or bends the cantilever when un-packaging, inserting the stylus assembly into the cartridge, or handling the cartridge once the stylus is mounted, I will not be held responsible. This includes while mounting the cartridge to your headshell. It is best to mount your cartridge somewhat loosely first. Then install the stylus. Once the stylus is mounted into the cartridge, adjust the cartridge for the correct overhang for your particular turntable. If you are unfamiliar or inexperienced with installing, mounting, & adjusting cartridges/styli, please have an experienced professional do the installation for you.
