Not enough resolution to refute differences on
component level, but also no obviously replaced
capacitors and a very good question about whether a
bit of possibly occured pcb rework and a new cabinet
warrants the differenc in price.
What is the difference in price?
$200 for the Pioneer, $6,000 for the Goldmund.
Or 6,000 Pounds? Unbelieveable!
And the Goldmund appears to use a phenolic PCB?
I don't think that *anybody* credible uses phenolic PCBs in even mid-priced
gear. That's reserved for $39.95 cheapies, I think.
I could be wrong, but Pioneer is probably using either mid grade or high
grade FRP in the DVD player that obviouisly is the basis for the Goldmund.
