Yep, it should be included. It should be pointed out that the Empire and the belt driven Rek-O-Kuts are essentially the same, however. The main mechanical difference is in the bearing assembly, both of which are excellent. The price difference between the Empire and Rek-O-Kut should also be taken into consideration when planning for a tonearm, if one is strict about the price restraints. The Empire is a looker while the Rek-O-Kut is pedestrian looking at best. Those looks are partly what makes the Empire higher priced than the Rek-O-Kut, but both can be made into world class turntables with the sky being the limit as far as modifications are concerned. Even so, a $350 one will amaze you with its performance.
