I listened to two 950's that were made before the production halt (the halt that was supposed to fix the hiss) and to two 950's that were made after production resumed. Each of the four 950's hissed noticably in *my* system. Some hissed more than others, but each hissed from far over a foot from my speakers even with the 950's volume set very low. No component I've ever had in my system has hissed as noticably.

I'm keeping my 950 but I really wish it did not hiss so much.
