LP TUNES VIVID LINE UPGRADE REPLACEMENT FOR EMPIRE S2000Z STYLUS
- Exceeds the performance and sound quality of the original Empire stylus

The S2000Z stylus is specified for the highly regarded Empire 2000Z cartridge and is also used in many Empire private label high-performance phono cartridges. This special S2000Z gold stylus features a highly polished and precision profiled Vivid Line diamond tip with .0002 x .0030 inch tracing and scanning radii bonded to a tapered thin-wall aluminum alloy cantilever for exceptional tracking and tracing of record grooves. The Vivid Line stylus traces the subtlest contours of the grooves with vivid accuracy for natural sound quality and harmonic grace.
