I think my 950 was bitten by a radioactive spider. It sounds better every day. Zero glitches. Even the no LFE while in DTS ES worked out to my advantage (in my setup, anyway).

Some helpful hints to aid in the longevity of your new 950:

1. Never try to cool it off by pouring ice water into the air vents.

2. Don't switch modes via the front panel and a baseball bat.

3. Never play a Barry Manilow CD through it.

4. Only hook cool stuff up to it.

5. Make sure the LOGO is always visible from the listening position.
