[Test Note] Check Empire 2000E/III on my setup
Victor MC-100II EB
The Victor MC-100II EB stands out among mid range MC cartridges for its user replaceable stylus design. Its 0.3 mV output still needs a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The elliptical stylus tracks from 1.5 to 2.0 g with 1.75 g nominal. The replaceable stylus is the DT-100II EB, and Phono Culture lists one compatible replacement.

Additional Info
The Victor MC-100II EB is a balanced, engaging MC with lively dynamics and a well-focused soundstage. Vocals come through natural and forward, bass stays reasonably tight without dominating, and moderate tracking control keeps well-pressed records happy while dense or noisy grooves show its limits. The elliptical stylus is user-replaceable, a rare convenience in an MC that makes long-term ownership straightforward for rock, jazz and vocal listening.
