BTW, is there a better Empire out there ?
Empire EDR9 users: Need advice
Since yesterday, I am also on the Empire club. Just received my NOS EDR9 cartridge. Needless to say I was inspired by Raul's thread. Unfortunately I dont have a phonostage to support 100 kohm loading impedance, mine is standard at 47 kohm. I am tracking at the recommended 1.5 grams. I have set the phonostage gain for 5mv. Am I doing okay with all these settings ?
What is the break-in period for this cartridge (it was bought NOS) ? Currently it sounds nice but closed-in.

Dear Pani: Well, through the years Empire marketed several cartridges in different cartridge series on each one of those series exist very good performers, one of them is the 4000D3 that's an older model than the EDR.9 but is really good. You can read something on that cartridge here: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ranlg&1275323834 Regards and enjoy the music, R. |
Hello Pani, here is a link to Raul's review of the Virtuoso, found in the review section. Virtuoso review Regards, Jim |
