Wally, Thank you for your suggestion. I went to their website and checked some user threads of the Outlaw 950 (you have to access it by going to the April newsletter - on the left of the Outlaw main page)! Aside from excitement over the unit finally shipping (it seems they don't charge your credit/debit card UNTIL it ships - that's a GREAT deal there! I wish all companies would do that! Sorry, I digress) most of the other recent threads included bad hissing through the stereo and 5.1 analog outputs. And there a LOT of postings on that topic - a few too many for my confort at this point. That said, these were comments from the beta version users. I'll check the site in a couple of weeks and see what comments get posted from the people just now receiving their units. It looks like a great machine with all of the features I posted I was looking for - thank's for the head's-up! However, a unit without a low noise floor usually gets the death sentence from me. If there are any Outlaw 950 owners out there, could you supply a comment on this? Thanks! Tony
