You had my money when you said it was going to be available next month. Set-up mike, tell me you will have mine at the show.

No doubt about it, I'm in. One thing that really pleases me is the addition of a phono input. And a headphone jack to boot!! Very cool. That money I was going to use to buy a second amp just got reallocated...
Later, Simp

The $1,099.00 price is amazing. Phono, PLIIx and Auto setup, just what I wanted. I can't wait to read the posts of Beta testers.

In looking at the display, even though it is not turned on, it looked pretty familiar to me. Since I just happened to have the owners manual for the Sherwood/Newcastle P-965 on my hard drive I compared their illustration of the 965's display with what you can see in Scott's picture. Sure enough, they appear very similar if not the same. On to the S/N site where they have a very nice picture of the rear of the P-965. Yep, the same layout although the 990 has more stuff like XLR, DVI etc. but the layout is identical expect for the additional ins and outs. I think it is a pretty safe bet these two units are built off of the same chassis. But, the 990 would appear to have more features at about the same street cost as the P-965.

OK. I just purchased a 950/770 combo in early October. Now I guess I'm going to have to purchase a 990/7100 combo, pair the 990/770 together in my main listening area and the 950/7100 in my secondary area. So go ahead and and put my name on the waiting list. Jeff

I know that it will be sheer speculation, but do you think that they've fixed the 1-2 second audio sync delay that is in the 950? I hope so, as that is really the only thing that annoys me with the 950. And the price of $1099 is much better than I'd dared to hope. Thanks again Outlaw. And I hope that you built several boat loads of these, as I'm sure they'll sell quickly.
Jeff

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they probably have fixed the delay - it's one of the most common complaints about the 950, and they look to have tried to resolve any such existing concerns. Originally posted by maxdog56: so, when and how much? Well, since the first shipment is on a freighter from the factory now, "when" is real darn soon - four to six weeks. "How much" is $1100.
