Soundhound,

I do respect your experience in the field and your experience with audio equipment, and you don't have to believe. I calibrated my system with a radio shack meter, used expensive interconnects and speaker cables, ran a dedicated AC line just for the audio, and a Monster 3600 filter for the whole system. My point is that I believe the unit probably was defective and sent it back rather than try a new one. I believe Outlaw would have exchanged it, no questions asked. The original post from mhua asked if the issue was still a problem and for me it was. Outlaw is a great company. This forum can make it appear that there are more quality issues than there really are because it is open. roblinds said it best. There are different kinds of people out there with their own agendas. I don't have an agenda. But, I stand by my original statement. Once I exchanged the 950 with the Aragon, the hiss was gone. The problem has not completely gone away.
