If you look at my original post I simply asked when the price changed. I first learned about it from a pic of an Outlaw banner at the Home Theater Show. I haven’t received an answer from the knowledgeable folk in the formum or from Outlaw (I e-mailed them twice). It only matters in that if it happened two weeks ago I could have contacted Outlaw sooner. I’m assuming the change coincided with the start of the show. But what does matter is my 30 trial is over Wednesday this week. So I have a decision to make. Will I keep the combo even though the list price has been dropped and I’m not wowed by it or will I return it and look elsewhere, unfortunately I sold my 1050. Also I would have bought the 7-pack wire deal at $49 whereas I didn’t at $99.95. Can I buy the $49 wire bundle after the fact but before my trial period expires or not? A simple question requiring a simple answer.

Outlaw will decide policy and I, as a customer of 1050, 200’s and now 950/7100, will decide to keep the combo or not. I don’t feel ripped off or cheated in any way. It’s simply a timing issue and a matter of company policy. Once I get my questions answered I’ll make my decision. End of story. Oh, yes, before this current issue came up I had decided to keep the combo, but it was a close decision. I’m a two channel stereo fan and I could have bought a new cartridge for $1,000 and happily lived with my 1050. The 2 channel & HT are different setups.

Prices change. But I was betting that the 1050 would be reduced/replaced soon, certainly before the 950, so I sold mine and bought a 950. So I was wrong. Of course that wasn’t the only factor in my 950-purchase decision but it was one of them.
