Great point bestbang4thebuck, before I started I made a list of everything I wanted in a preamp and yes the 950 fulfills everyone one except the OSD from component. I must admit spending two to three times as much solely for OSD is a bit foolish. There has to be a way to rearrange my components for visual confirmation of adjustments although I do like the fact that with the screen down all you see is the movie, no clocks no displays. Maybe it's time to make that audio closet on the side of my room.
