Thanks for that Sraber. I am in love with my 950 (popping aside) I am just venting. But if the replacement pops I will have to see what else there is to match up with my 7100 and LFM.

I also tried plugging the 950 into a Monster strip with a grounded plug and then plugging that into the HTS 2500.(Hey! I am desperate here :p ) Nothing is working. The ONLY thing that seemed to lessen the pop was separating all my cables and wires. Believe me when I tell you that now they are in different zip codes. The popping is not as loud but there nonetheless.

Wing....

Have you tried running a ground from the Monster ground jack to each component? Daisy chain it. Just curious if it helps your situation.

I got the replacement 950 and unfortunately the popping is still there. For whatever reason the 950 is allergic to my set up.

While I was waiting for the replacement 950, I ordered a Sherwood Newcastle P-965 and set it up. It sounds excellent with my 7100 and it is extraordinarily quiet.

Outlaw customer service of course is top notch and I want to thank Steve especially for all of his help.

wing,sorry,man!you are having no luck brother!

ever feel like totally gutting everything and starting over?been there(still there)done that(still doing it).

wish i had the magic answer!

Ha..yes I do but I gotta say the Sherwood sounds amazing...now if I can just get my car audio straight I will be in business :p

cool,haven't heard sherwood for years,glad u r happy!

Just thought I'd add that I'm getting popping as well, when I change channels on my new Motorola dual-tuner DVR cable box. Didn't have this problem with the old single-tuner cable box. It's a very quiet pop, like static, and not that big a deal.

The DVR is having it's own sound issues (often looses sound entirely when recording), so right now I think it's related to the source, and not the 950. In program (once the digital audio locks on) I have no sound problems.

I will try the unplug trick and see if it helps.
