Be nice to Vader. He is most likely a pimply 14 yr old with nothing better to do. We wouldn't want to be accused of child abuse for verbally abusing him, would we?

Poor kid wishes his Emerson CD/clock radio was a Krell, and dreams of one day replacing his radio's factory cord with a kick-butt aftermarket one.

I wonder how Razvan is enjoying his firewire ports. The 950 has been out for almost two years and firewire is just becoming a feature on most receivers. Ah, those were the days. Well said. Except I am sure Vader enjoys his ht X times the amount more than he spent on his system than I did, only because he doesn't seem to care how it sounds, just how much blood & plasma he had to sell to obtain it.

Sorry about the run-on.

C' mon, is this VADER dude for real, or is he just on drugs/alcohol/airplane glue???

I sure wish he'd share some pictures of his system (of course, with close-ups of the interconnects!) with us chumps so we can dream a bit of living large. I'm sure his HT has been featured in "Home Theater Interiors" magazine, so maybe he could just point us to the issue it's in????

Hey Soundhound put pic's of your system back up so vader can really see what a price is no object system should look like
I think that might at least slow down his trash talking a little.

Lasher

I did, in the interconnects threads......I'm ashamed my system hasn't been in "Home Theater Interiors" magazine though

Anytime anyone evokes the presence of people like Gonk, SLL, KCB, D'Arb, Sanjay, Soundhound, etc., a good thing has been accomplished.

I always come away from this sort of thing with a bit of knowledge that I lacked otherwise.

This is a very cool place, to me. In almost 2 years, I haven't witnessed a single soul make it a single degree less cool.

Thanx, Vader

Evey so often I see someone mentions how slow the 950 is to lock onto a signal. I believe this is a Cirrus quirk. I still have the H/K AVR65 that uses Cirrus, and it is so slow to lock on a signal that it makes my 950 seem lightning quick. Not sure why this company makes such slow processors but maybe in the future Outlaw might look for a different manufacturer of its engines.

Lock on delay: I had a Sony TA-E9000ES that wasn't bad. I found the trick for the 950 is to dedicate the inputs. I.e., tell it what digital stream to expect (LPCM, DD/DTS, etc). The Lexicon MC-8 isn't too different that the 950 (with dedicated inputs, anyway).
