I did post earlier about the hiss, it is there, no denying that. In response to the question about running at -20db, I dont hear it because that is cranked up movie volume. The hiss is actually closer to the volume of my pc fans (htpc) that are all quiet fans running at 9v instead of the 12v. I am VERY happy with my oulaw, adcom, and axiom combination, they are clear, precise, deep, and LOUD! I DO NOT think that this is a problem the Outlaws need to fix. I have listened to many pre/pros (including lexicon) and think the outlaw is by far quieter and a better piece of equipment (especially for the $$$$).

Overall, good product Outlaws! Thanks!
