Anyone plan on getting it? Their website is finally listing it...I think it's finally available.

I don't know how much Sherbourn tweaked Outlaw Audio's Model 950 or not, so I can't say if putting down the extra cash beyond the $899 for the Model 950 is worth it.

Well, the power button is not green

Well, the power button is not green

And it doesn't have that huge goofy-looking brand name logo...

IMO, the changes are minor at best. I don't think they'd provide any noticable difference. (though I guarantee someone will follow my post with a major disagreement)
Still, it's nice to have another "affordable" pre/pro on the market. I just wish they had styled it a bit more dramatically. It's not that different from the Outlaw.

Am I the only one on the planet that actually likes the Outlaw logo and green button?
Nevermind, don't answer that.

Hmmn, the design looks pretty simple as well, and has a "cheap" look to it, but maybe that's just me.

Well, I asked Ron Fone himself about the release of the Pre/Pro, as well as if there are any differences between it and the Outlaw. Here is his response:

Scott:

We are confident of getting over our dealer back order problems by the end of October.

The main differences are that ours comes with a set of basic cables, the main/video/processing boards are especially calibrated, we use low leakage capacitors, our video transfer is at 55 Mhz, our (optionally) rack mountable front panel cosmetically matches our new amplfiers and we have a solid aluminum volume control knob. PLUS we only sell our product through our network of professional franchised dealers who are always ready to assist in the installation of the product.

Regards,

Ron Fone

The green button is just fine - very ergomonic as says 'where to start the fun' - and the fun continues with the 'fun' logo.

So can someone please look inside this thing and tell me which caps I need to replace?
