Yuck.

No doubt you are very familiar with the unit

Dork. It's too expensive even on top of being not what I want.

So, your "Yuck" is conjecture.

against the DC-1.

Idiot.

OK, so I do not closely follow your purchasing decisions.
So, just what Lexicon unit do you own? I am pretty certain
that someone here, quite some time ago, said that you owned
a DC-1. If you have one of the earlier units it is time to
upgrade. If you have one of the later processors, you will
be a fool to upgrade at this time.

I am pretty sure that all you wanted to initially do with
your post was set me up for some of your typically mean,
petty, and proto-witty comments.

Not true, moron.

Mean, petty, and proto-witty. I rest my case.

I've already done some of my own research. The best choices I've found
under $1500 are Adcom, Rotel, and Marantz. Of course you don't know
anything about any of their models, being both clueless and useless.

I have not reviewed any of them. However, assuming that they
have the usual required features (especially DPL II, if you
are truly interested in music reproduction), any of them
should work just fine.

Do you
know where the Outlaw 950 falls short?

I reviewed the 1050 receiver in issue 86 of The Sensible
Sound. I did find some problems (some of them rather odd),
but you will have to read the review to see what they were.
As for the 950, I have no idea of its capabilities.
