[QUOTE="maylar, post: 8147365, member: 541144"] I don't doubt your experiences. There are lots of things in a HU that affect SQ.. the DACs, opamps, and especially the DSP. Even circuitboard layout and passive components have an effect. Pioneer goes as far as using a solid copper chassis for their high end unit. As price goes up so does the quality of these components. And preout voltage seems to follow suit - the higher SQ decks have higher voltage preouts. Personally I think they do that on purpose to get us to spend more money. Look at Alpine's under $200 decks and they're all still 2V. Gain controls are for adjusting an amp's input sensitivity to the supplied signal level. That's all they do. Higher gain settings don't make the amp work harder, run hotter or distort more. It's just an input sensitivity control. [/QUOTE]
