Modwright Oppo 105
I'm getting mine back Monday. I wonder if anyone has tried the Sophia rectifiers in the ModWright power supply? I really like the Sophia 6SN7's and wonder if their rectifier is as good? Right now my favorite rectifier is a RCA 5U4G from the 50's. 
Listener fatigue: what does it really mean?
Distortion is the most likely suspect. High order distortion especially. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Whoops. Meant so you can get the most out of it. It would not let me edit for some reason.

Glad you like the AT-150ANV Raul. After I got my first one I did not see the sense in lusting after 10k+ carts anymore.For those that do pick one up make sure to load it higher than 47k if you can to get the most out of it. 
Modwright Oppo 105
Hi, I'm the other customer in Seattle that received a ModWright OPPO out of phase. I noticed immediately that something was not right. After trying different tubes I had on hand and letting it burn in overnight it still sounded very diffuse and we... 
Phono Preamp Gain Question
I would say you need at least 60db. 66db would be better. It really depends on how quiet the phono stage is. If it claims to have 70db gain but has a high noise floor then you can't really use that 70db. It is very difficult to get high gain and l... 
Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners
Richard, To take advantage of the Dynavector tonearm design wouldn't it require a cartridge with different compliance in the two planes? Otherwise wont only one plane will be optimized with the Dynavector arm? 
Tax return burning a hole in my pocket
Can't say how much of an upgrade the Graham would be over your Space arm but I would lean towards the tonearm first. I own the ADS and it is a god send so this really is a hard decision. 
I want to try a different tonearm on my classic
A Rega arm will not just drop in the VPI Classic. The Classic arm is an 10.5 inch arm. If you really want to use another brand arm and don't want to modify the table yourself I believe VPI can do it for you. Tri-Planar or a Reed 10.5" would be the... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Grbluen2, I've been looking for the replacement stylus (atn150anv) for the AT150ANV since I bought my first one. The only place I have seen one is on a couple of Japanese websites. Even with a translation program I could not figure out how to orde... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I would not wait too long if you want an ANV. It is a limited edition and showing as discontinued on the US Audio Technica website. Probably why LP Gear is charging $200.00 more than they were when I bought my first one 9 months ago. When the deal... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Yup it's a 67. It's easier to tell if you can see the tail lights. I prefer the tail lights on the 67. The other way to tell between the 66 and 67 is on the 66 the GTO badge is in the middle of the front fender. On the 67 it's on the bottom of the... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thanks Raul. There are not allot of comments about the ANV on the web. I've had mine for about 9 months now and I'm quite happy with it. The stylus is not glued on like most carts. I think it's pressure fit. They must have used a laser to cut the ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I own 2 AT150ANV's and both have the stylus mounted so you need to have the back of the arm quite high to get the SRA to 92 degrees. I am using a brass shim in front of the cartridge so I don't have to raise the back so high. Once the SRA is corre... 
Kuzma 4 Point owners - Do you use damping?
If possible try moving the location of the rack your TT is on. It is weird that it's happening only with one speaker though.
