The delay of the 976 is deja vu all over again. My 720p plasma TV is showing signs of crapping out and when it does I'm going to buy a 4K LG OLED, an Oppo UDP-203 and a new pre/pro to tie them together. Once again I'm wondering if Outlaw will have a pre/pro to replace my 990, and hoping they will.

I am renewing my faith. Outlaw is a good company with a good rep. I believe it will be out very soon. Anyone from Outlaw care to chime in?

Patience WILL reward you!
The 975, new, about $590 shipped to my front door.
About 7-8 years ago (about the time HDMI had taken hold of HT?) I won from eBay, a Rotel RSP-1068. Pre-HDMI*, $350 shipped. Sold new in 2002(2003,2004?) $1600. It provided an immersive HT experience. * I knew NOTHING of HDMI back then.
I find the the $590 975 equally immersive w/out the, objectionable to my soon-to-be 60 year old ears, mid-range lump of the $1600 1068. I'll take an Outlaw over the, supposed-to-be-better Rotel, well-known-in-its-circles for its temperamental HDMI, any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Wait for the Dom Perignon champagne SQ at a Mad Dog 2020 $ tag. You'll be glad you did.

For someone with a failing or failed pre/pro the M-975 can still be a good deal. My B Stock 975 was $499.00. (have no fear buying B Stock from Outlaw, mine was perfect)
With the trending prices at auction plus the $100.00 loyalty offer my cost of ownership for the 975 would be in the forty to seventy dollar range.
I am assuming things here but if... If Outlaw does B Stock pricing as they do now along with extending the loyalty program to include the B Stock units I could be in the 976 for $300.00 give or take a few.
My current plan is to hold out until around Christmas. In the mean time I have a mic ordered so I can spend time learning REW.
I agree with you Tony. I was prepared to take a big hit in SQ that had me worried for nothing. If the 976 improves on the SQ of the 975 the new unit should sound wonderful.

Hi all, I got a chance to listen (and see and touch) the 976 with Peter Tribeman the other week. It's "real" and almost ready to be unleashed upon an unsuspecting audio world. I don't think you'll be disappointed in it. Peter will not release a "buggy" product and he is very meticulous about his baby. I hope to get one for a SECRETS of Home Theater and HiFi review soon. We listened to it along with the new THX certified subwoofer(X-13)...which is a monster! Those Outlaws have some good things cooking in the next year!
