    Not sure if this qualifies as a TV show, but I've been watching a few different YouTube series about off grid building and living.

    One is called 'Life Uncontained'. It's about a couple and their (eventually) two children. They build a home in rural Texas from steel shipping containers. Then later buy a plot of land as a vacation home and build a road, ready the land and build a cabin, again from a shipping container. They're a cute couple and very willing to get their hands dirty 

    The second I just found in the last few days. It's called 'The Outsider'. It's a Father and Son who build a log cabin from scratch in Northern Ontario. Both are very skilled and I get tired just watching how much they achieve together. 

    I find both shows fascinating. I know that the young couple make their entire living from their YouTube channel. And it's obviously a decent living. That's also quite fascinating to someone of my generation. 

    @swt61  Here in the U.K. there is a series called ‘Grand Designs" where they have people doing self builds, one off designs that are self built over sometimes quite long periods of time. I am always amazed at the hours they are putting in to do it, working full time jobs and then going home and building until we’ll into the night.

    I think the longest one I have seen it took them 10 years from buying the plot of land to moving in. Some quite astonishing houses built .

    Anyone checking out The English? Halfway through the limited series and entertaining so far.

    It was excellent, Have to admit that Emily Blunt is  a bit of a crush of mine.

     

    Series 3 of Happy Valley is also excellent.

  3. My CRBN headphones arrived yesterday and I have noticed that I am getting  the e-stat fart(crackling) , quite a lot  louder  in the right ear than the left  even when adjusting on the head.  I have told the dealer about it, he said to run them over the weekend and see if they settle. 

     I  know Spritzer had to send a pair back for this as well as Tammerdown .

    Even though these are brand new from my dealer  I have noticed that the cert of authenticity  date is 11-1-2021  which I guess as it a  U.S. company is  1st of Nov 2021  which I am surprised at being around 12months ago, even though I am based in U.K., not sure how long they have been held at U.K. importer .

      I assume things didn't improve for you which is why they went back but I wonder if anyone else had this and it improved  over short time.

  4. I have a pair  of CRBN coming next week, I use Roon for non L.P. playback which has  a  DSP pre-set  provided by Audeze  for the CRBN, will be interested to see how much difference it makes compared to it flat .

    Not sure how many of you on here use Roon and have already tried it.
