In another posting, someone mentioned that The Perfect Vision was the "major magazine" that would have a 950 review, as alluded to in the last newsletter.

The contents of the current TPV issue at http://www.theperfectvision.com/current.html doesn't include any mention of the 950.

Is it either 1) another magazine or 2) the January issue of TPV, not the December issue?

The *next* edition. Was actually supposed to be in the current issue, but they were running late. If you look in the *prior* issue to the current one, they mention it. If all that makes sense...

Thanks, Kevin...

I looked with interest at my newest Stereophile Guide to Home Theater, but didn't find it there.

Thought it was interesting that they gave a 'product of the year' type award to the Rotel 1066 pre/pro. Wonder who would have received that had they reviewed the 950 during the year...

Anybody know if Perfect Vision is reviewing the Soundhound hiss fixed version of the 950, which is not yet available for sale although a pre/production unit or two were being shipped around for evaluation in recent months?

Will- I'm guessing it's rev 2 that's currently shipping. The review was almost ready for the current issue, but didn't make it. Reviews are written 2 months-ish before the print mag comes out?

Maybe one way to know whether the currently shipping model or a SH hiss-fixed prototype is being reviewed, is to look at the S/N numbers. The wait is almost over. According to The Perfect Vision web site teaser, The Perfect Vision's January/February 2003 issue will say:

- Sony's DVP-NS999ES DVD/CD/SACD Player raises the bar on video performance-and throws in multichannel SACD to boot. An early contender for Product of the Year.

- Onkyo's TX-SR700 A/V Receiver boasts a feature set and performance levels that would have cost twice as much a year ago, Onkyo has another hit with this mid-priced AVR.

- RCA's Scenium HD61W140 61" Widescreen Rear-Projection Television has it all: HDTV tuner, great picture, lots of features, and a virtually future-proof array of connectors.

and

. . . .(drumroll, please)

- Those Internet-direct outlaws at Outlaw Audio have two winners in their new 7.1-channel controller and amplifier combo.

And chance of you typing out the Outlaw related review?!??! It would be much appreciated and it could be your Christmas gift to a soon to be Outlaw who is reading all he can b4 his purchase of the combo

Play it LoUd!!

Maybe the Outlaws will make it available in the "Reviews" section in the next few days-- I'm sure they have a copy . Be a nice Christmas gift, as you said spoonman!

It downloaded as a adobe acrobat read only file, so I can't cut and paste. I have it saved on my computer as a 5MB file. Any suggestions on how to upload it? I could fax the outlaw pages to someone and they could scan it in and post it somewhere? Thoughts?
