Altec,

Was not joking.

If I'm going to pull out a vinyl record (because I don't have it on CD or SACD) then I prefer to listen to it with a judicious touch of dynamic range expansion and some elimination of clicks and pops.

That's how I prefer it - and I believe it sounds much better that way (and closer to the clean dynamics of CD).

On a new pre/pro I would prefer that all sources fed it digitally - but if I do need to feed it an analogue signal (say from my phono chain) then once there I want it converted to digital and kept that way (for switching / processing / who-knows-what-in-future)until it's then fed in analogue form to my amps. And if I'm going to be moving signals around digitally I'd prefer that it were through a simple single connection like HDMI.

I personally don't see a need (or a "point") to seek an all-analogue signal path. Digital does not offend me - or my hearing.

I'm neither preaching nor trying to convert anyone. Just answering your questions as honestly as possible.

We're not sure - sounds like early part of next year, though.

Why would Outlaw leave us early customers (950) out of the discount deal?

Because the discount isn't for loyalty, it is a sales tool used to entice potential buyers into purchasing a piece of equipment (i.e. 990) that would soon be discontinued.

I would like to see some sort of "loyalty" discount from companies such as Outlaw. Companies who try to use the idea of being part of the "family" or hanging out together in their forums should try and capitalize on the loyalty angle by rewarding all customers.
An example of the loyalty discount happened with a recently purchased new vehicle, $2000 discount for owning the same brand car. Age, value or condition didn't matter, just rewarding me for staying with the brand.

Early on, Outlaw had a "family discount" where an owner of one Outlaw product could get $50 off of another. (I did this when I bought my 750 based on having bought the 1050 previously, and then again on the 950.) As I recall, they replaced it with the package deals due to record-keeping concerns (it would have been more straightforward when they had a product line of two to five items total and a small base of existing customers). It might be cool to see something similar return...

Keta, I'm not referring to the current products' discount, I'm talking about the future product's discount. I sent Outlaw my money when they were new and a real gamble in the marketplace. New, unknown, no financials to look at - they may have lasted a year and then us early adopters would have been left out in the cold. I really liked their business model and NON condescending attitude towards their customers and potential customers, so I really do not understand why us early supporters are left out of the discount deal.

I know that Peter's post is a bit cryptic, Hank, but it suggests to me that we might see something on the horizon that would offer something to customers from back before the 990/970 generation. Could be good news...
