Cartridge for Empire 698 turntable

Thanks, everyone, for the great suggestions. I'll definitety want to try the Empire 4000, just a matter of finding an NOS one!

Hurricane,

I feel certain that you will be impressed with the 4000D on your 698. Good luck with your search for one. It is worth it.

Czarivey - I have owned a 698 (with an Empire 4000DIII mounted) for years, so I am quite aware that is has a removable headshell. I am also aware, despite my illiteracy, that the headshell has a Lexan fingerlift permanently attached to the top that makes it impossible to mount a cartridge from the top.

I have seen people us a Denon DL-103 in that arm with great results...

Back in the day, the Empire 698, was the most beautiful turntable available. Since I lusted for it, I still don't know why I didn't buy it, I even had the Empire 2000 Z cartridge.


Good luck on that cartridge.

Empire Z was to die for
