Of the two


Which is a better choice for Rainmakers, EPOS elan 10: nad 7175 pe or Carver 732? Mostly into light rock jazz, blues. Thank you.

If your NAD 7400 has enough power to drive your speakers properly, I would say get a new preamp instead. It should make a bigger difference. The amp and preamp sections on your NAD are jumped externally. That allows you to bypass the preamp section of your current amp altogether.
Thanks. What would you suggest for a moderately used amp or receiver?
I'm having an NAD 7400 reconditioned (pots etc. )any better, or should I scrap them for new or moderate price wise? I need direction as a novice.

Thanks.
What's your budget? I don't think either receiver will do justice to a pair of Rainmakers...just my opinion.
