    Maruni ES-801DD Electrostatic (or electret)

    Cool! I?m quite excited to get into these but I don?t have a reference to anything really. The only good set of cans I?ve ever had are Sennheiser Hd545  but haven?t heard them for 10yrs. I?m happy to pass these Maruni?s around to trusted Club guys in Cape Town for a listen. Does anyone have...

    Maruni ES-801DD Electrostatic (or electret)

    Thanks.  From that thread the Op said he would choose these over his Stax Sr-5's !

    NAD 3020 and AR speakers

    A good price (for you) on that amp would be about R1000 to R1500.  With its age expect a good service and recap which would set you back another R1K.  Guys ask about R2500 on the market for a clean working/serviced 3020 Try find out what model AR's.

    Maruni ES-801DD Electrostatic (or electret)

    So I?m not (yet) a big head-fi guy but I couldn?t resist grabbing the opportunity to own these interesting vintage ear speakers. Branded Maruni ES-801DD. Apparently 70?s Japanese made Electrostatic. No external transformer or special amp required so apparently these are known as  Electret ...

    Joke for the day

    The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop. He asks the assistant ?Do you have ?European Wasp Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.? ?Certainly,? replies the assistant. ?Would you like to listen before you buy it?? "That would be wonderful," says...

    Technics Sh-8020 Equaliser slider

    Hi All, I started acquiring vintage gear a few months ago and the hobby is quickly getting out of hand. Wifey is demanding that some items must move on  :facepalm: and I tend to agree when it comes to things that are not my "flavour", such as a Technics stack I picked up.  A SU-Z2 with sweet VU...

    Network/Internet Issue

    Cabling won't be a problem unless you are pushing 100M+ Can you explain what the POE switch is connected to?  Cabled directly to an ADSL router or some other Access Point?  If this device is a non ADSL router (and you have that somewhere else) make sure you are not plugging into the port marked...

    Apple TV As media player

    I think the Infuse management is pretty good.  Fetches all metadata, organises folders/library, syncs across all clients, manages subtitles etc. Good to hear about Tidal integration with Plex, I may revisit that setup.

    Tannoy Autograph mini speakers

    I had the privilege of listening to them in the Kloppers listening room.  In short, ASTOUNDING!  It was only a quick demo with a sub on so I can't comment of the lows fairly but the rest of the range was mind blowing for the size of the little guys.  Its a rehash of their old studio monitor...

    Apple TV As media player

    Also check out Infuse.  Even easier than Plex as there is no server to setup.  Just point the ATV Infuse app to directly to the network directory with media. I do this with just an external HDD connected to USB on my router.  The meta data and interface is great for movies and series.  I don't...
