Understand. Actually though about you the other day for some reason. I'll PM with chat info (Discord.)
Thx Brent. My experience with American companies owned by Japanese corporations is that success or failure depends largely on whether the parent company allocated the budget for the American subsidiary in yen or dollars. Hope Audeze gets their budget in the stronger currency. That used to be dollars, but these days the dollar ain’t shit.

Dude! Where have you been the last 9 years?
Lurking from time to time. Just got busy with work. Retired and have time now. Where’d the chat functionality go?

Mystery solved. It works on the Roku 3 in my bedroom but not the Roku 2 in the living room. Roku seems to want everyone to switch to the Roku 3.

I'm not seeing the captioning on my Roku 2. Haven't checked the Roku 3.

I am having a hard time with Season 2. In season 1 the show was captioned so that you knew what they were saying when they spoke Norwegian, but the captions were not on for the English speakers. In Season 2 it comes default with no captioning, so, now I have to go into my Roku player and turn on captions. Doing it this way means that I have to have captions for English and Norwegian speakers, which is distracting and annoying. It is a nit, but it is keeping me watching the show as frequently as I did for Season 1.

Thanks for all the input. I've never really thought about this stuff before and have definitely learned a few things! Think I'm going to go for a bog-standard Omega Speedmaster Pro. At 42 mm, it's bigger than my current watch, but not too big. Also skews a bit more towards function over ornamentation, which I like.
Here is a good deal on manual wind Speedy: http://www.bernardwatch.com/Omega/Speedmaster-Moon/OMG2017

Happy birthday Dan!

Had not heard about RGM. Very cool.
I had an RGM and hated the buying experience. The watch arrived and stopped working 3 days later. I sent it back to RGM and they say I will have it back in a week. Three months go by, with them ignoring my emails the whole time, and I finally call them. Their answer is that watch is having problems keeping time over the course of a few days and they cannot figure it out. My response is "Holy shit, dude, this is an relatively expensive timepiece." They will not give me my money back or any other reasonable accommodation I got the watch a few days later and it seemed to work fine while I owned it, but the buying experience was not good. I sold it with full disclosure and a huge discount to the buyer.

Stretch, make sure you get the manual wind. It will have better resale value among purists. Here is my source for Omega watches: http://www.bernardwatch.com/Omega/Speedmaster
I have always had good experiences with them.

Stretch, I like the Explorer I one a lot since the upsized it to 39mm. The upside is that you get an understated sports watch that is versatile enough to be worn with a suit. It is also somewhat less common than a submariner. The downside is that it might be too similar to your current watch:

I sold Tari my Stax 4070 (his real name is Tzvi). The transaction was perfect in every way.

this reminds me to check my inbox again, make sure i dont have any stale New Years Eve emails to answer
It would be different if you were the seller since you have an established, good, reputation. This guy at Epiphany, Oliver, is a total unknown. He may be a good guy in the end - I just don't know yet. -
I went ahead and did the paypal thing. Even if that works, I will still lose about $75 on this since I placed an initial deposit that is outside of the period for filing a complaint. Oh well - you live, you learn.
-
Also, I paid with paypal and am still within the period for filing a complaint. Since it has been a few days and I have not heard from Epiphany, I think I'll go ahead and take that route.

All of the opamps look fine.
For now I'm mostly treating this as an exercise in seeing if Epiphany Accoustics will stand behind their products. If I don't hear from them, then I'll crack the case open and start diagnosing the problem.

Charging it didn't work. I'm going to try nuking it next.

I emailed them 24 hours ago and haven't heard back yet. We'll see how long it takes.

My O2 came in a few days ago. At first I was concerned about build-quality since the attenuator came off the first time I touched it. It went back on with a little effort and an allen wrench. I got around to listening to it yesterday and was surprised - it may be one of those "good for the money" deals. I haven't really listened enough to comment on the merits of the amp design or sound quality, but my initial impression was positive. I was feeling good about it until about an hour ago when the thing crapped out on me. The right channel produced nothing but static. I have confirmed that it is definitely the amp. I guess we'll get to see what customer service is like.
