Apt Holman was great in it’s day, I had one for about 5 years...think I replaced it with a Classe 5..of which I now have a fully refurbished one...if you keep the Apt I absolutely recommend a professional refurbish, parts replacement and cleaning - worked wonders on my Classe, and not that expensive on a preamp...for new modest cost preamps, I'm happier than expected with Schiit Freya S and Freya+...
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 🥂

@jerryg123 , thank you very much. I am a spiritual person although one would never know it from listening to me here. I should hear by mid next week at the latest. My wife keeps saying to think positive thoughts but in my eyes, whatever is or isn’t there is already done and positive thoughts won’t matter at this point. I told my doctor not to sugar coat anything so he told me last Wednesday it is 50-50 right now. Sure sucks to get old, worked my entire life, never didn’t have a job for even a day. Retired 5 1/2 years ago and most of my friends from work who already retired are gone, lasting between 2-5 year’s. Hoping I don’t become a statistic. |
@stereo5 I hear you, I love my work so I am going to keep going till they tell me to go home. You are in my prayers. Chin up! |
For sure I am having my whole ceiling completely down in acoustic panels covered by a seamless fabric. I do not have a Preamp and have been debating whether I really need one. But, if I can convince my wife and the stock market rises a little bit then the Aries Cerat Ianus Ageto Preamp will be on my list. |
