RE: Tonearm choices for "new" Empire 208: Help??
Posted by dancingseamonkey on April 28, 2012 at 17:07:20:
I leveled the platter with carpenter shims and made a pencil mark for the depth I wanted the Smooth On to be, between 1/8" & 1/4" after pouring the platter I filed the rim. The Smooth On is self leveling but I did not use the brass powder because the spindle bearing plate on the Empire is made of plastic and I didn't want to add more weight that it wasn't designed for, but thats just me. The tone arm tracks beautifully and the sound is far better than the original 98 both were worthwhile up grades.
