So the Pioneer-Sansui-Outlaw-Cinenova signal path sounds better than the Pioneer-Outlaw-Cinenova path? That's sort of a head-scratcher. If we were looking at the Sansui in place of the 950, that would be one thing, but the 950 is still in the signal path. Hmmm...

Since I am set to stereo by-pass other than volume how much of an impact does the 950 have on the signal from the Sansui? Let me try it without bypass to see what it sounds like......in bypass it sounds louder/fuller with a more satisfying bass than when it is set to just stereo.

Oh, well, it sounds like the Sansui is going to work out for your two-channel setup at least.

I had one just like it back in 1979 and lost it when the house burned down, so when I saw one on ebay it give me the idea to build another 2 channel system, all I needed was the okay from my very understanding spouse concerning the use of the room. Now if she will just buy me those Polk SRS speakers for Giftmas I'll be all set.
