I got tired of waiting(and I only waited for 2 months) The 1066 is here now and available. When you decide that you want to upgrade your system...you don't want to wait months on a list. As of 6/10 the woman in the office "hadn't heard a thing" about more 950's coming in.
I don't hear any hiss with the 1066 so I'm wondering if it has to do with set-up,other equip etc. As far as bright vs warm, whatever is on the disk is reproduced - accurately I feel. Some stuff sounds bright even harsh and good recordings sound great. I like haveing the treble/bass knobs to fine tune the sound of each disk.
I'm sure the 950's fine.....it's just not available.
