Description: I am the original owner of this top-performing turntable. It has been a primary component in my system for the entirety of my ownership.Has never been in storage and has never failed to function. A major upgrade includes a CUSTOM MADE tonearm cable. The 5 pin connector is made of T-6061 Aluminum and Derlin dielectric pressed. The interconnect coax in Micro Mogami and covered in techflex loom @ 48" length. Terminated to Neutrik Rean rca jacks. Ground wire is terminated with Amphenol solid copper spade lug. The cable is head and shoulders above the stock cable in every way. You can hear the difference! Additional spare parts are part of the deal including:1) Two genuine Empire Cartridge Mounting brackets,(necessary to mount cartridge to headshell/tonearm.) 2) Two new drive belts made to original specifications.3) Two spare Pilot lights (along with the original) 4) Pickering cartridge with upgraded stylus along with the original. Cartridge is mounted with custom NYLON NON-MAGNETIC ULM headshell screws.5) The original Owner's Manual which came with the unit.I have upgraded with these superior parts to assure maximum performance. Of all the hi-fi gear I've ever owned, this has been the ultimate conversation piece. "Exquisite" is the most common adjective I've repeatedly heard. And that's just looking at it. Once it has been heard, everyone walks away nodding their affirmation. This will ship fully insured and safely packaged.I've included photos of the items described so you can see the upgrades. There is not another Empire Troubador 598 Turntable quite like this one. You will assuredly enjoy this magnificent piece of American craftsmanship for many years to come!
