    Description

    I  designed this to add cueing  to the Empire 98 or 980 tonearm used on Empire's 208, 289, & 398 Turntable. The silicone damped lift raises and lowers smoothly and predictably and is nicely made. The holder is made of American walnut with an oil finish. Two #6-32 stainless cap head screws clamp the device to the tonearm and hold the lift. The lift doesn't interfere with the tonearms use or the Empire Dyna-lift. The installation is fairly straightforward but requires some time to adjust and reset the VTA of the tonearm. Some people are fine not having a queuing device but I think they provide a valuable protection for ones LP's and cartridges.  As with all of the products I offer for Empire turntables this product can be installed and removed with no permanent modification to the turntable.
    I
    apologize
    for the
    dramatic
    increase in price, The lift that I have been using for the better part of a year went from around to over . If the lift lowers in price in the future I will lower my price as well. If anyone already owns one of these lifters and just wants to by the clamp I would be happy to sell them one for .
