This is an eBay for charity listing!  At Best Audio, we believe in giving back.  A portion of your purchase will go to an animal shelter.

The 980 Cartridge holder has gold plated spring pins which not only provide a clean audio signal, they resist oxidation.  The lead wires are silver plated copper strand, and insulated "to the tips", another measure to prevent oxidation. The center nut is a 4-40, the same as found on the original Empire sled. Cartridge mounting screws and nuts are not provided.    

First designed by Best Audio over five years ago in response to the Empire turntable community, more than 100 of these hard-to-find 980/990 Cartridge Holders have been sold, and it has proven to be the most popular.  It will provide you with years of listening enjoyment. You will love this cart holder, and you will be promoting a great charitable cause with your purchase
