Got the Outlaw 1050. Cool!

As for the tuner comparison I promised, well it might have to wait a couple of days. I need to get a 75 to 300 ohm converter so I can use the same dipole ant. that I used on my other receiver. Otherwise the comparison would be unrealistic; right now with that little 2 ft. wire there's not much going on. I'll give the 1050 the benefit of the doubt until I do a formal comparison.

Otherwise the receiver is great! I could CLEARLY hear the difference in sound bewtween my old receiver and the 1050. I'm not quite sure to objectively describe the sound. If forced to comment I would say that the overall sound was "tighter" with more detail that before. The bass seems a little more controled (whatever that means). At first it struck me as being a touch bright but now I don't notice that. It could very well be due to my old JVC being "dark". Since I havn't listened to many high-end products it's really hard to say what differences I'm hearing are real and which ones are due to mind tricks. I'm very happy with the sound though.

Overall evaluation: well built, good sound, easy/intuitive to control and setup. I'll post back in couple of days with the FM deal.
