    Default Great to come out of the shadows

    Hi everyone, I'm Damian and an eclectic collector of hifi.

    I'm the proud owner of a few vintage receivers (Marantz 2238B, 2285B and a Yamaha CR800), an upgraded Quad 405, Marantz SC22 and MA22s, numerous CD players from the 80s and 90s, the ones of note being a Marantz CD11LE and a CD85. Speaker-wise, nothing much has changed over the years, I'm a proud (original) owner of a pair of Heybrook Sextets that I've recently removed the crossovers to take me on an active crossover journey using miniDSP's 2x4HD. In addition to the Sextets I have a pair of wonderful Neat Petite 3s that I live in hope of partnering with their Gravitas transmission-lines at some point in time. For my modern digital fix I use a Cambridge Audio CXN although I do have Abrahamsen DAC and a SMSL Chi-Fi DAC that occasionally come into service.

    Music wise I'll listen to anything, as long as it sounds good and keeps me interested.

    That's a difficult one to answer, I think I'll be looking at the amplification side, but who knows......so long as it sounds good!
