Carl has it, performance seamed pretty good when I was there last weekend. Though, it was rebooting from time to time by itself (the controller). I'm still on 7.1 until my new server is done. I'll probably run the 7.3.1 version though.

I downloaded it yesterday, will install today. Somebody on AC said they thought it sounded better than before.

So the regular SB or receiver sounds better with 7.4 and worse with 7.3? I may wait a little longer until 7.4 is stable.

There's a nightly download available so I'll get the latest soon to see if the controller stops rebooting.  It only does it when off the base.  It does it reliably, not sporadic so I would think it would be an easy fix for the developers.

We used 7.4 last night at the G2G with Ken's mighty modded Transporter. I sounded really great. But we didn't compare with another version.
