RE: Sony PS T 22 w Empire P40e (info?)
Posted by vinyl survivor on November 20, 2012 at 01:10:21:
I purchased this TT when I was in high school. It sat at my parents house for years with my old stereo. I still have the TT in a box somewhere. I originally had an Acutex cartridge on it which I believe is a cut well above the Empire. My father would play it occasionally and finally the stylus went bad. I did not want to spend a lot of money on it at the time so I put a Grado ZTE (precursor to the Grado Black) cartridge on it.
Depending upon how much his uncle used the TT, it is possible the stylus is worn on the Empire. He may want to upgrade the cartridge anyway. If he decides to get a better TT, he can always remove the cartridge and put it on a different TT.
I hope your budding Vinyl lover friend enjoys his new endeavor!
