AllRIGHT!!! Thanks for the info Scott

Thanks Scott, that's an honest representation of the situation.

Sorry Matthew, just because you're happy with you're 950 doesn't mean those of us waiting want to gamble.

Enjoy your 950, I think Outlaw is doing the right thing.

Scott,
Thanks for the update. Still enjoying my 1050,looking forward to the long-awaited e-mail!
Maybe I'll get one by my birthday? 8/28.

Thank you Scott!

I *agree* with the way that Outlaw is handling this. (OK, the communication could have been better, but now seems OK. "Thank you Scott" again! )

And I agree with halting shipment until the fix is found for the hiss problem. A problem is a problem no matter how many people encounter it.

Luckily, I don't have a hole in my rack waiting for the 950; just waiting for when the 950 is *ready*, and then will retire my current unit...

I am also ready to jump ship. I have been expecting to dump my 10 year old Sony surround system ever since I got my DVD player two years ago. I am sooo close to just buying the Sony DA5ES, but now new Sony ES models are due out in the next few weeks.

The race is on, will the 950 ship before I am tempted with the new Sony's??

I am stuck in a condo now for the next 12 months anyway, how much difference will I be able to hear between the two I wonder?

Hmmm. It sounds to me like everyone is gonna get the updated units? I wonder if they are gonna re-fill our units first, or if they are gonna fill all the other orders and then come back to us later? Has anyone sent their first units back to wait on the upgraded units yet?

Take Care,

Merc - I was under the impression that your unit did not have any of the concerns? If this is true and if so, wouldn't OUTLAW only exchange the units if the user complained of a problem? If my statement is wrong, I apologize.

I was also under the impression that Outlaw would not be returning the existing units in the field that are not defective. I personally don't plan on packing up my 950 and sending it back. If, however, a brand new 950 arrives on my door unexpectedly... well then I'd have to weigh the pain in the butt factor of yanking it out of the rack against having a unit with that "new car smell" again.

Another thing you'd want to do if you get a new 950 is to record the settings from your old 950 so you can compare the old one against the new one, with the same settings.

And lest I forget, here's one more factor to add to the equation: To some people, new pre/pro's sound different than broken in pre/pro's.

I think I heard our replacement units would be in silver
