When Scott said that the production of the 950 was to begin soon a couple of weeks ago, I sent Outlaw a email saying that I had a issue with the Hiss problem. Even though it is a very slight hiss, it is there. And like you, I really dont know if I want to swap it out for the new and improved 950. I have been given the option to compare them side by side. I believe that we all would be hard pressed to find another company that is willing to do this for customers who have already received their product. Most would make you wait while they serviced everyone else before they got back to you. So I tip my hat to them and look forward to listening to their new offering in the next few days. Then I will decide to keep it or not.
