[i]RAF: my 950 experience began with finding and reading your beta test review[i/]
Pretty much partialy my own experience. I found Outlaw early on when I started researching AV and the willingness of this forum to share time with someone like me was my personal hook.
I blame every subsequent purchase (but for my first) in all of audio/video on the excitment that the0 Outlaw company and community sparked for me, not least of, - factoring that something about the incredible bargain for service and function. And additionaly the class and knowledge of many, many people who have become interested in Outlaw products maintained an intrigue level which fueled my desire to try to learn.

I watched the heated debates (wars?) between the Beta testers and their questioners. Including many who hoped Outlaw would fail, I believe that casual observers might not be aware how many competitors appear capable and willing to manipulate the golden opportunities, forum access creates, in an attempt to thwart a company like Outlaw’s success. Due to the display of a hidden agenda of certain posters barely masked as if they are just ‘arguing pro’s and cons’ of the product. Although I have watched some who are talented, canny and sly and others on occasion with a laughably transparent goal ( if you follow posts for any length of time). Propagating controversy in your life as a Beta tester rather similar to the effects of a roller coaster. I’d be willing to bet engendering probably one of your most severe feedback question and answer sessions with the 950 over most products you have previous consented to test.

Thanks for your hard work, perseverance, and patience during that violate time…making for very good reading, which cemented my desire to learn more.

Glad to see your post name again. Hope that all for you; - is as well as can be expected, - for this momentous past year you have had.

Thank You.
