Empire stylus match

[multirock]

Hello everybody,
I can’t find this on the Empire threads I had read, so I’m asking now.
Can I use a stylus for a Empire 2000x in a Empire 2000I body? Are the 2000x and 2000I/II/III the same bodies?
Thanks!

Different body and stylus types it will fit but won't sound quite right . Here's the measurement specs thread

The 2000x is basically a 4000D / 440D body , 4 channel cartridge , renamed for stereo and sold as a 2000X . If its an original 2000X stylus , they're very nice .

Thanks!
It’s a Zafira 5587 stylus. I have read that these can be very good.
But according to your comments this stylus will not work quite right... isn’t it?

Yes if its designed for a 2000X , you could always give it a try . Haven't tried it before .
