I didn't get a chance to check because in analog-bypass, my new red-dot 950 has the same hiss as my original 950, in *my* system.

The hiss is audible from over a foot away, but not from my listening position, which is much farther away. My red-dot 950 hisses more than the mid-June "intermediate hiss fix" 950. Scott and I spoke Friday. He says the red-dot 950 should not hiss as much as the original 950 does. He also said the red-dot 950 should not hiss that much more than the mid-June 950 does. On Friday, I shipped my hissy red-dot 950 to Outlaw. Outlaw is shipping another red-dot 950 to me. Outlaw customer service is great after the sale! It looks like it may be a simple quality control problem, and Outlaw will take care of it.
