Patience WILL reward you!

The 975, new, about $590 shipped to my front door.

About 7-8 years ago (about the time HDMI had taken hold of HT?) I won from eBay, a Rotel RSP-1068. Pre-HDMI*, $350 shipped. Sold new in 2002(2003,2004?) $1600. It provided an immersive HT experience.
* I knew NOTHING of HDMI back then.

I find the the $590 975 equally immersive w/out the, objectionable to my soon-to-be 60 year old ears, mid-range lump of the $1600 1068. I'll take an Outlaw over the, supposed-to-be-better Rotel, well-known-in-its-circles for its temperamental HDMI, any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Wait for the Dom Perignon champagne SQ at a Mad Dog 2020 $ tag. You'll be glad you did.
