Well it arrived yesterday. I was able to order it on Friday of last week. I beleive i'm like 256. It was about 40 hours after the start of the reserve time.
I will be posting a review ASAP. I want to get a little more time on it before I do it though. It will be in direct comparison to the REF30 which I had in my system for about a week. (its my brothers, so I might be able to do a side by side as well)

Finally: Ta dah!!! Yesterday my 770 landed in a carton that looked like it was tossed around by Zeus (By the Gods it is heavy) and early this evening 950 Reservation #1118 arrived at my doorstep with cables and ICBM (You can chalk this one up Gonk). I was pleased that UPS obeyed the instructons in my note to leave it by the door. Next adventure: to unpack and connect...comments to follow..

BigJeff -- looking forward to your comparison to the Ref 30. I've been going back and forth trying to figure out if the Ref 30/7270 are worth spending the extra $$ over the 950/770. Upgradability via firewire seems like a big plus on the Ref 30, but the 950/770 is so much less expensive. I could probably get the 950 now and the forthcoming higher end Outlaw pre/pro later, and still save money over the cost of the Ref 30/7270. Thanks!

#1231 is in the rack! Ordered late 12/14/02.
My work has just begun. The old Sony ES components are going to the bedroom. The cabling from there to the 950/770 in the home theater is complete. Wiring to the dining room and deck speakers is done. I'm in the process of installing the rear surrounds.
What I can tell you is that owning this 950/770 combo is like having a 1000 concert tickets. The only serious listening I did last night was to my four month old SACD player in 5.1 surround for the first time. I closed my eyes for one song. I thought I was going to have to drive home.
WOW! Patrick

-- You were number 31 in my count, Pat. And the first with a picture, I might add. (The picture of Jamen doesn't count, even though she is prettier than a 950.) Nice site update, by the way. ------------------ gonk -- Saloon Links | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | 950 Review

It's here! Only problem so far, I am having problems getting my Sony DSS to lock on optical input. Tried 2 different optical cables, still no luck. My DVD locks on perfectly on coax tho.

I reserved 12/27 and recieved my invitation to order a few hours ago 5/17 at 5:07 pm CDT. My order is in and hopefully on the way soon. Thanks to all who posted here. It helped to see how things were unfolding and gave me a sense for how long it would be.
