Anyone familiar with the Empire brand of cartridges?

I recently bought a Harmon Kardon Rabco st-7 turntable that came with an EMPIRE 2000Z MM Cartridge installed ,anyone have any good experiences with this cartridge or brand ?

These are all excellent mm cartridges. Now sadly forgotten along with the Empire belt-drive TTs. I have four of those!
