1979 - 1983. The end of the line. For most cartridge manufacturers, the mid 80's saw an end to their phono cartridge production. Either the R&D was shut down or significantly reduced due to the free-fall drop in vinyl record and cartridge sales. These models from Empire, Stanton, ADC and Shure represent the last of the top cartridge models. With the use to exotic materials and advanced stylus shapes, cartridges achieved world-class performance in low distortion, high tracking ability and clean, detailed sonics.
