Don't have my 950 yet, but am anxious to see what kind of results I will get. I battle hum and hiss in my system. I have cheater plugs on my amp for ground loop hum (disconnecting the CATV didn't help at all). I also have experienced LOUD hiss from the center/surround preouts of my HK receiver and from the same channels on an Adcom Pro-Logic preamp.

I am really hoping the 950 will be quiet enough in my set-up. If not, I may be forced to try something like a balanced power transformer (best deal I have found is from b-p-t.com). Still not sure if the benefits of balanced power justify the cost, but it sounds like a great idea. Anyone here know about using balanced AC power for reducing noise in AV systems? Both Outlaw and BPT have 30-day money back guarantees. That doesn't leave a lot of time. Maybe I should order the power unit when my number for the 950 comes up?
