Peter and seattleguy:

is the outlaw 950 not supposed to send dc output to the amp? In other words, is there something wrong with the Outlaw that there is DC going to the amp's inputs?

Considering you said: "I know...they shouldn't...but stranger things have happened" I wonder whether there is a problem with DC leaking from the Outlaw.

Is there way to alter a DC thumping amp to remove the thump? Or is this impractical/will lessen sound quality of amp...

Lastly, why do some amps exhibit the DC thump and others do not?

thanks for all of your info.
