| Your choice for budget analog to digital converter Jcharvet,Thanks for your suggestion.kn | |
| Your choice for budget analog to digital converter Stevecham,Thanks, this may be a dumb question, but how is the record out signal from a preamp different from the output from my phono preamp? I always assumed (hoped?) the record out from preamps was a pure pass-through signal. I don't have a prea... | |
| 13yr old speaker upgrade Monitor Audio Silver towers (the bigger ones) and matching center. Or at lower price point, PSB Image towers (the bigger ones) and matching center, more left over for your amp. | |
| Your choice for budget analog to digital converter Thanks Jedinite24, but I'm going the opposite direction, analog to digital or "ADC". | |
| Anybody try doubling different cables? The short of it, I lent my son a set of Audioquest Flex 4 cables, about 8 ft. This is a quad run of stranded cable for custom install, nothing fancy but sounds nice. He wanted to upgrade and I convinced him to try GBC cable from HCM Audio, essenti... | |
| Any other AQ Dragonfly Early Adopters out there? I bought a Dragonfly in December and am using it mostly in my Dell Latitude laptop based system at work. It immediately gave me a case of upgrade-itis, and I replaced the stereo in a box speakers I had been using with some used Boston mini monitor... | |
| MS Windows 7 "Room Correction" feature? Mysearcher257, Equalizer still in there in MC version 18 and it works. Big help! | |
| Budget USB cable? Here is another prop for the Belkin Pro Series USB 2.0 (A Plug to 5-Pin Mini B Plug). Just sounds clearly better when used for my Dell laptop/AQ Dragonfly based system than either the thin cable that came with my external hard drive or the shielde... | |
| "best" 3.5mm to RCA cable Thanks for the suggestions. Being impatient, I went to the neighbohood RadioShack yesterday to see if they had other products than their basic shielded cable I had been using and I picked up an Auvio brand 3.5mm to RCA cable for $17.99. It kills t... | |
| Has anyone heard the Audioquest Dragonfly? Johnnyb53, thanks for your threads on the AQ Dragonfly. I just got one and am enjoying it in my office system - clearly better sound than the sound card in my computer. Has me thinking of upgrades all along the line. In your thread you note that t... | |
| Has anybody tried Sounds Heavenly cables? Follow up: standard RCA cable is no great shakes. Worth the $26 paid but not more. Compares favorably to my budget favorite RS Auvio interconnect, but not Audioquest Diamondback. | |
| Music Matters 7 - Seattle Sarcher30, thanks for the info on the ARC pre. I missed the ViennaAyre/Transparent room, and am sorry now that I did. How long has Definitive been carrying Vienna Acoustics? | |

| Help using integrated as power amp You could try it, it would definitely control the speakers as long as you are happy with the pre-section in the 747. I am not sure how the C275BEE measures up next to the C272, but I have heard the latter with some decent Triangle and Dynaudio spe... | |
| Help using integrated as power amp The Rainmakers deserve much better than the 747. There are several options but 1. get a better AV receiver - any of these in the $1500-$2000 range will drive the Rainmakers adequately:Marantz SR 7005Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A2000NAD T 775Rotel RX 1550De... |
