Since there's a lot of talk around here on the arrival/hope for arrival of 950's, I'm going to start a thread here -- if you get a 950 on your doorstep, post here to let everybody know. Since I received my replacement unit this morning (which I understand to be a final unit, not one of the test units that RAF, merc, and turbo have been pounding away on for the last week or so), I'll start this off: I received a 950 at 10:30 or so this morning.

I've got the replacement unit in place and hooked up. There's still a lot of setup to do to get it squared away, and I'm going to start over with the remote setup (got most of it done, just need to teach it some extra commands and a macro or two, but I figure I can get it a little better after experience from the first time around). It works fine and sounds great. I will add to my review in a week or so (see my sig below) after I've gotten it settled in and listened to it some. Unfortunately, I don't have any more information than anybody else on shipping so I don't know what the schedule is, but I would expect things to start cranking in the next couple days if they haven't already.

EDIT:
Number of 950's reported delivered since 4/30/02 -- 55 (including reports from other threads. also including werner52!)
Where we are on the reservation list -- August/September. Almost done with reservations?

Great idea, gonk! I'll be watching this closely.

And for the record, I sure as heck hope that "Unit #3" that I and merc and the other beta testers received is the final version. Since our last task was to check it out to make sure that it was right to start sending out the door I'd hate to learn that there's a later "version."

I'm not thrilled about swapping out a 950 in my system for a fourth(!) time. (And I'm very confident that my unit is the final director's cut.


Eagerly awaiting the arrival of units in others' hands....

ltkhuc,
What number were you on the order list?

Do you know where you were in line,ltkhuc? I haven't heard anything from them yet, and if I read their numbering scheme correctly, I was #35. Gonna be glued to the laptop for the rest of the day, I guess... ;-)

i believe i'm the 17th on the list.
reservation: 10:00 pm
confirmation message: 10:02 pm

Thanks for the info ltkhuc,
I'm number 55 and will be posting here as soon as I hear anything as well. Hopefully I'll have my 950 by Friday.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

They're shipping from LONG BEACH!!!!???!!!

Hell. I'll just drive over and pick mine up!!!

Boy - I hope they convert EVERYONE to next-day. I did ground because I thought they were coming from NH. Well, at least it's good to know they're rolling...

IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!

But I'm at work!!!!!!!!!

And I'm not getting out of here until midnight!

This is just not fair!

:-(

BTW, as I stated in another thread, I believe I was No. 15.
