There have been several post recently about members sending in their 1050s for repair and getting them back as good as new. $75.00 sounds like a great deal if you don't count shipping. Give Outlaw a call. Don't bury your 950 just yet.

The Marantz SR5005 is on sale with free ground shipping right now and would update your system quite a bit as far as features, codecs and connectivity. You also would have a little more power.
