Is an Apt preamp a good preamp for my setup.

My system is a marantz cd-67se connected direct to a BEL 1001 amp with the sound fed into a pair of wharfedale diamond II's. Have a chance to purchase a Apt preamp and wondered if it would be a good fit to my system. Plus does anyone currently run the Apt, how do you like it and do you have a copy of the owners manual. The one forsale does not have the manual but it does have the schematic sheet attached to the bottom.

So old its bound to be widely out of spec, if you do buy it , hook only to some speahers you can live without. Been there, done that.

The Holman pre was a ahead of it's time, regarding presentation(for a SS design). If you can get it for less than $200; this is a good place to get it updated: (http://www.angelfire.com/art2/stereorepair117/holman.htm)

I owned one and found it lifeless. Yes, ahead of its time in the 1980s, but much has changed since then. And perhaps, mine was out of spec. I would look elsewhere such as Audio Refinement or any other very decent preamps.
