Gold plated RCA's, high quality sound parts and hi res rated

Thast's all I see different when I use the Compare feature between the two

unless someone
Can get in there to verify high rated parts vs the other one, I’m getting the one that puts out more that’s rated at 220 bucks or whatever on amazon

20 bucks says you won't 'hear' the added value of the 160 gold plated jacks.

uhm fk all that nonsense, just get two gm 8704s for similar pricing and bridge both to 2 channel mode. Never even come close to .01% THD.

What is the difference between the GM-D9705 and the GM-DX975 'Limited' amplifiers? Does anyone know? Other than gold plated RCA's, what else does the 'DX' offer over the 'D'?

Did the compare thing on Pioneer.com Gold RCA and High Res certified and Higher Quality Parts inside. To be High Res certified i believe there is higher quality parts you need to use. I don't need 5ch but looking at the GM-DX874 4ch Limited model, It can be had for under $200. On Ebay right now just looked, Sound of tri state sound has a factory refurb from Pioneer company for $160. Might have to pick that up. Some don't like refurb items but i have used many differant items over the years with great sucsess and learned to only buy from factory or manufacture refurb items and not 3rd party refurb items. Had a Hoover Vac refurb by Hoover from Big Lots lasted long time. Coffee maker refurb by factory also had many years. And Have a kenwood excelon XR401-4 refurb by kenwood for few years worked great.

the inner componnts are the same

Different component markings indicates different components in the same ICB configuration.

The third one very different IMO.

they are identical to me, can you point to the difference in the board between 9750 vs 975?
I think they are the same with different price tag
