Description: Greeting vintage Empire and Rek-O-Kut owners. For sale is a Empire 98 compatible headshell, designed for the Empire 98 tonearm found on both Empire and Rek-O-Kut turntables. See our youtube video, search for "Best Audio Parts".Unique to the Best Audio Empire 98 headshell is a worldwide first: the removable cart sled. You are no longer limited to certain cartridges. And of course overhang adjustment is now an option. Do you like to roll cartridges? Buy an extra sled, and it's an easy method of swapping.Vintage Rek-O-Kut owners may recall when the S-120 arm was introduced, Rek-O-Kut acknowledged that the overhang was fixed, and was meant to accommodate the "majority of popular cartridges". Because some cartridge manufacturers had not standardized the distance from the mounting holes in the cartridge to the stylus, certain cartridges were not an option to the listener. To address this issue, Rek-O-Kut marketed a "mounting kit" with slotted mounting holes and which permitted the cartridge to be moved forward or backward for the correct overhang. We borrowed this design philosophy from Rek-O-Kut and applied it to our Empire 98 compatible headshell.Please be aware this headshell is made of ABS therefore not of the same weight as the OEM version. To our European and other international friends, please be aware:Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are your responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
