I have the DSP-3000. ...The DSP-3000 and other Titanium Series components are shown in the 1990 "YAMAHA HIFI" (German) catalog at HiFiEngine. It would be nice to see that catalog in English, if it exists.
I believe none of my Yamaha TI units have any real titanium plate on them, assumed it was a term used for the plating color on metal.
Aluminum coated with anodizing. Copper plated chassis..coloring!
