| 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... | |

| Phono preamp under 1k new or used advice? I use a Grado phono pre which I like, but if upgrading would go to the Musical Surroundings Phonomena Nova. | |
| Smallish floorstander that sounds good placed just Arros are very good - strengths are imaging and tone. They were designed to sound good placed near the wall, which will give you more bass response and weaker imaging, but if anything, makes the excellent tone stand out even more. Tuning with mass... | |
| Help using integrated as power amp Alternative, buy a used NAD c272 and see what that does for you. Rainmakers well powerd can have some very strong bass. Trading the 747 for one of the bigger NAD receivers or one from another mark could also help. Adding a subwoofer to an underpow... | |
| Are CD players dead Reports of the death of redbook cd's are premature.CD's will survive for quite a while in the market space between availability, cost and convenience. By title, CD sales still reign supreme, correct? That will not last forever, but I regularly use... | |
| B&W 805 or Monitor Audio Silver for Creek 5350SE? Fair enough, glad you are enjoying the RS6 - Creek combination. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? All this talk about venue has me thinking about some recent concerts/live events I have attended recently. At the symphony mid-way back on the floor I found myself saying "huh, this sounds ok but I had trouble relating the instruments notes with t... | |
