Camp - My comments on comparing Logic7 of MC-12 to 950 and CES can be found here. Regards - Gene

Todd - I run DefTech speakers all around - 2000 L/R, 3000 C, 2300 sides L/R, and 2004 rear L/R. As one of the 950 beta testers, I can tell you the 950 will make your DefTechs speak like they've not spoken before. Regarding amps, I bought one of the original Outlaw 750's. It is an outstanding...

Dan - I think you have your PS Audio products confused. The Ultimate Outlets are a great product. I have three of them. But they do employ MOV's as the barrier to surges. Further, they do not provide balanced power. Only the P series (300, 600, 1200) units do the balanced power thing...

I like Bill Kane's solution. I ordered a Brickwall yesterday based on several days research. Brickwalls do not rely on MOV's for surge protection, whose surge protection capabilities degrade over time. Another surge protection product I really liked was Transtector, another non MOV based...

John T - Right now, my 950 beta unit is installed in my Dad's system, for evaulation with my old Outlaw 750 amp and his B&W/McIntosh speaker layout. I won't be over there until Wednesday, and rather than try to answer your questions from memory, I'll defer to Merc and RAF who still have their...

Joy - In about 2-3 weeks, the reviews from the new owners of the Outlaw 950 will be flooding into this space. If you are not yet convinced that in your price range, this is the way to go, I urge you to wait until then to decide. As one of the beta testers for the 950, and an owner of an...

John - Congratulations! - both on a decision made, and on an excellent decision at that. I promise, as a dyed in the wool Lexicon owner, you will be very happy with your choice. Why? Because it is a very informed choice. You looked hard at everything and weighed them carefully and pulled...

I managed to find a copy of post #2 on the 950. Again, I'm Beta #5, and this report was posted 2/14/02. **** In my original comments, I addressed impressions of the 2-channel sonic characteristics of the 950, which I found to be outstanding, and at or near those of my Lexicon MC-12. For...

Great thread, John. I understand your point. However, pan and scan literally deletes material the director intended for viewing, where Logic 7 deletes nothing from the audio, and adds 'something'. Whether you like the 'something' is, like a lot of other things, a matter of personal taste...

The following is my third report on the 950, submitted on 2/18/02. Am still searching for #2. **** To Shawn: Are you sure you haven't gone into your output levels in 5.1 mode and muted the sides? Shawn - I’m sure glad to see your posts here, having read your words on AVS and SMR for some...
