  1. I  got lifetime in 2018 and a nucleus+ rev A , it is good but Roon support ,which is on the Roon community site is not the best, they seem to place it as a premium product but rely on users to carry the load of support. I thought that harman buying them up might make things improve  but it seems not.

    I have on the whole had only minor problems with it now and again as they tend to introduce updates to fix bugs  that introduce new bugs almost every time.

    It is totally dependent on how you use it and what with that will decide if you have problems or not being  as there are so many systems with different operating systems and equipment.

    For example, the most recent update means that I have to turn my DAC (T+A)off and  on several times for it to pick up and play music. This was a bug in an earlier iteration which was fixed and now seems to be back again.

    when it is working it is great.

    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 .

    there are episodes on YouTube, not sure if it is restricted geographically.

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
