2023 Audio System Wish List


I’ve been doing this for years now- and it’s time for our 2023 wish list!

in 2022, I put together a very effective bedroom system- Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 speakers on Monoprice stands driven by an NAD 316BEE V2 integrated amp, fed by a Bluesound Node (n130). As a result of moving my node out of my main system I bought an Auralic Aries G1 for streaming in my main system.

My main goal for 2023 is to explore and add more music. Streaming has been a fantastic way of exploring new to me music, and in some instances after streaming an album, I also wound up buying it on vinyl.

What’s your audio goal for 2023. A new preamp? A DAC? Music?

Enjoy 🥂

If I had endless $$$$ which I don’t, I would love to try a pair of the Klipsch Cornwall IV and a pair of Legacy Audio speakers in my second system.  I would love the ability to roll in different speakers regarding the mood I am in.  I am currently waiting on some test results and if I do not have cancer, I am going to buy a 55 inch OLED TV for the living room.  I am leaning towards a Sony as they have been making OLED’s for years or a Samsung.  Our Samsung LED TV which is 7 years old would go upstairs to my office.  Still waiting for a letter from my doctor and the agony is killing me. 

Toying with the idea of buying a new pre-amp.  I have an old Apt-Holman pre-amp which is a classic piece of equipment with technology far ahead of its time. Not sure there will be any significant improvement with a new pre-amp, Comments?

 

@elliottbnewcombjr Well that does indeed suck……but it sounds like you are getting right medical attention - i too have gone down that same path w IV antibiotics, hyperbaric, etc… Blessed w great insurance AND superb medical care. Please reach out IF there is anything i can do !

Best to you in recovery and beyond.

@jrosemd well the Apt was excellent in it’s day…. depends on rest of system and expectations….. what are you looking to gain ?
