Well I have more than a "small amount of hiss" and only about 2 weeks left to decide whether to keep or return. I was hopeful there was a fix out there already for loud hiss people.

I am not excited about keeping such a hissy unit. If I return it, I have 3 options: 1) buy a much more expensive pre/pro; 2) buy a less expensive receiver with preouts; or 3) wait and see if Outlaw really makes a fundamental change in the next month or two and then buy it again.

If I decide I cannot live with the hiss, I will not hold onto it in hopes that I will be taken care of in the future. I think Outlaw has phenomenal customer service, but I am not going to expect that much.

With Kevin's unit a "no improvement", I don't know if there is going to be any news to change my opinion/hopes from today until my return window closes. Guess I'll spend the next two weeks listening to the 950 and looking more at alternatives.
