No.......no solutions yet....
I did e-mail Outlaws Service Dept...
this is the reply I received.......

"I would like to discuss the noise you have described, and offer some tips on pinpointing it's source. If the problem is only in one speaker, have you tried another speaker and cable? You would also want to try a different interconnect between the preamp and amp in the suspected channel. Are your speaker terminations tight? Have you tried different outlets? Obviously there are many other variables to this equation, so please contact me at 1-866-688-5292 between 9am and 5 pm Eastern time.
Thanks and regards,

All very nice, basic stuff I think most of us have tried.........
I am still baffled.....and it is not going away....it sure is unusual that only a few of us seem to have this problem....if everyone complained that there was a little popping/thumping noise....that would be one thing.....but this makes me think something is wrong with the 950....but what?????
Is it worth the hassle trying to send back in????
Still debating that question......
