Haven't posted in a while but I'm really interested in the 950/7100 combo. I owned a 950 about a year ago I guess and the Hiss was alful with my Klipsch speakers, Has this issue been resolved? Thanks

I thought I read about a bluedot that fixed this issue? Apparently not.

A little longer answer: Sorry, I meant to say that yes, it has been fixed. I was answering the question in your post, not your title, sorry. And welcome back, haven't seen you in a few months, or longer.

NO, the 950 does not hiss. The hiss issue was resolved some time ago. The currently shipping units reflect changes in specification and design that eliminated the hiss that occurred in some systems.

Welcome back , Cball. The blue dot revision back in December did finally squash the hiss issue, and all units shipped since then have included the blue dot revisions. As for Klipsh users, I can't think of any specific individuals off the top of my head, but I know they are out there. There's also a few other horn users around here, as well, including SoundHound, who has a system with Altec Lansing horns. Oh, found one... it looks like scubadj has Klipsh, 950, and Parasound amps. ------------------ gonk -- Saloon Links | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | 950 Review

And to be a little more precise, in my system with Acurus amps (another problem interaction for the 950), the hiss was reduced by about 2/3 from the red dot (era) unit to the current version. Remember, you still get the 30 day free trial.

I recently got my 950. Before I swapped my Pioneer receiver out I turned the volume up with no source and realized an incredible ammount of hiss. I did the same when the 950 went in and the hiss was significantly reduced. Neither the 950 or the Pioneer had hiss during playback, but I do notice better sound quality (detail, clarity, and just plain ooomph). Both units were driven by the same rotel amps and playing through the same Infinity speakers. I read alot about the hiss issue before buying and was a little concerned . I no longer have any concerns.
