Hello folks, I am fairly new to the forum. Thus far I have only purchased my HDTV. It must be difficult at times for the marketing department at Sherwood Newcastle. Release dates for the 972: August 07,September 07, January 08, March 08, May 08, June 08, Dec 08.... I was originally excited about this reciever because of the great reviews of the Reon processor and the Trinnov optimizer. There are two downsides for me. It does not come with Ethernet. (I like to listen to high quality radio on Shoutcast) It is also quite deep at 18" and would not work well asthetically with my setup causing me to lean towards the Denon 3808. You can see the brochure of the 972 here: http://rapidshare.com/files/147187896/NC_R972_4-page_brochure_RGB.pdf.html

CV, thanks for the link. As a 990 owner, I am very eager to get my hands on this new baby. Now I am slightly confused. Did JP just make an audio related post?  Ouch. Welcome to YourThreadWILLBEHijacked.com Enjoy your stay, newcomer.

Welcome new user and yet one more from the Calgary area. I would be more inclined to wait and go for the 3809 now, unless you can get the 3808 for under $1000. The 3809 has a couple of upgrades to it that might be worth waiting for, IIRC.

I seem to remember reading about newer DAC's, some better processor's and another 10 watts of power. I was really hoping to hear about a Reon being used for this model.

I hadn't seen this news on the 997 posted last month: The Outlaw Saloon: Model 997 UpdateThe following has me excited: The time it takes to resolve any bugs and re-test until we have the final software is the true determinant of the release date, as we won't ship the Model 997 until it is rock-solid. At this point we can say that the initial tests are positive and the Model 997 is well on its way to continuing the tradition of excellence that the Outlaw family of products has come to define. This is particularly true when it comes to the testers' initial responses to the Model 997's implementation of Trinnov EQ, which have exceeded even our lofty expectations for this incredible technology. Most importantly, the beta testers have raved about how cohesive movie soundtracks become once the groundbreaking algorithms utilized by Trinnov are employed in their systems. One tester went so far as to say that the Trinnov EQ technology "truly separates the men from the boys in the world of home theater auto-equalization."

Sounds good, too bad they are waiting on the Newcastle reciever that seems will never come. This new Trinnov technology will be old news by the time Sherwood finally gets it's shit together.

Yep. I think Alan gave us the Newcastle firm delivery date of June 1, or maybe it was even earlier. (To be clear, he was just relaying their date.) Never looks good to potential buyers like me when you see a firm delivery date missed, and not explained by "the ship from Japan sank, sorry." I have to guess they are working on a bug infestation, and that makes me want to wait. Frankly, I have decided to hold on to my old-3300 Denon for now and just buy an external HDMI switcher. Once this new wave of AVR/Pre-Pros gets cooled off I'll upgrade. For now, a projector and an external amp had done wonders to improve my HT.

The 972 is out, at least the initial shipment of apparently less than 100 units. These have been parceled out to dealers and professional testers. Possibly Axiom received one for evaluation. It's said that a much larger shipment will arrive next week and allow for sale to consumers.
Incidentally, the earlier date was what Alan was given, and he was simply reporting to us.

This new Trinnov technology will be old news by the time Sherwood finally gets it's shit together. I'm still looking forward to it. Old news how? I don't see any other EQ solutions now or slated to be released that seem able to compete. The Model 997 doesn't seem like the holy grail I've been waiting for, but I'm hoping it's a decent step forward.
