Scott, thanks for the insiders update. This kind of reply is what builds a reputation and a dedicated, fanatical group of customers.
Although the video switching has given me much frustration (not to mention I'm out $50 for giving the 1050 a try), I am impressed with the 1050's quality, attention to detail and audio performance. If I can try a different DVD player or cables before my 30 day trial is up it is a keeper. If not, maybe the 950....

I have experienced it most when using the Sony PS2, Monster Cable s-video to 1050, Tributaires s-video to monitor. Maybe my particular PS2 is exceeding the standard output level.

I will be disappointed if I have to send the 1050 back. But I am a believer in your products and Outlaw's dedication to affordable hi-fi sound. Keep up the good work OUTLAWS!!!
