Empire 2000E – Capturing the Iconic Empire Sound

The Empire 2000E is one of the finest cartridges ever crafted by Empire, offering the brand’s signature smooth, warm, and articulate sound. Audiophiles recognise its precise and detailed audio performance, making it highly sought after. Many prefer the Empire 2000 over the 4000 model when using aftermarket styli, due to the difference in inductance values.

This is a rare opportunity to own the Empire 2000E—available only while supplies last.

Recommended Stylus Upgrades for the Empire 2000E

The Empire 2000E can be paired with a range of aftermarket Tonar styli, manufactured in Japan. Choose from the Elliptical, Hyper Elliptical, or Shibata stylus to enhance your listening experience.

While the Elliptical stylus is a great match for the 2000E, the Hyper Elliptical and Shibata options elevate sound quality further by providing richer detail and a wider, more precise soundstage.

Please note that using the more advanced stylus cuts, such as the Hyper Elliptical or Shibata, requires more precise alignment. We recommend using a Schön protractor for optimal installation.
