Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I replaced the stock 47K resistor with a pair of cheap RadioShack 100K 1/2watt resistors. I agree with the posters about the difference. The sound seems more clean and airy. Thanks for the tip!

How significant of a change can I expect if I change the load resistor from 47K to 100K?

I got the P-76 at work today and snuck out at lunch time to install it. The first thing I noticed was the packaging, it look very nice with a heavy acrylic box housing the unit. The person I ordered it from also included a P mount adaptor. It look... 
Setting up Pro-Ject Tubebox SE II
There are two sides, one for each channel. So you would need to place 2 jumpers, one on each side that marks 100ohm.

Thanks Raul, I am currently using a Zu Denon 103 and am very happy with the sound. I will post my impressions of P-76 and Ruby once I get them.

My Ruby Grace is still at Soundsmith for a retip, so in the meantime, I picked up a P-76 which should be coming in soon. Can anybody compare P-76 vs. the Ruby Grace? Thanks.

ICEPower vs SET
Correction, these are 200ASC's, not ASP's as I have posted. 
ICEPower vs SET
I have Zu Druid speakers. I bought the ICEPower modules from an individual and put them together myself. I am running SE off of the amp.

Yaqin MC-100B or Cayin A-88T - first tube amp
99db should be OK with a 300B amp, and Yaqin makes a 300B SET amplifier that you might want to check out. I am driving my 88db Quad 12L2's with a 845 SET amp with no problem in a medium sized room. The Cayin is probably twice the price as the Yaqi...

Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it?
Raul, I bought a Grace Ruby with broken cantelever that I have sent out to soundsmith (the top of the line ruby retip). Assume it comes back similar with to the original sound, would you consider that to be a top of the line MM? Thanks.
