I understand, both Gryphon and Ypsilon use very high quality and presumably expensive parts. I also suspect that they pay their workers very well. Personally, I am not interested in low prices, I am interested in fair prices. $16k for an outstanding integrated amp seems fair to me. Not sure about $25k, that's Ypsilon's integrated's price.

Not me, Dill had a store. But, yeah, I am aware of all that, including custom installations. That's why I said that distributors are more interesting to learn about. Dealers also sometimes have to deal with audiophiles, can really be terrible, as I imagine.

10X more expensive amp can be 100x times better, you can't generalize. The cables.. I have $100 RCA cables and $1300 RCA cables. The latter is incomparably better, though the former is quite good. I don't know how to apply straightforward mathematics here.

$11.2k for the least expensive Gryphon integrated for ten years wouldn't be so bad if acceptable financing was available.
Another point. In New York City many live without a car, so they can spend some on good equipment. The same in Tokyo and other cities.
I heard that what dealers pay varies wildly, it's not always 40%-60%.

Not dealers' - distributor's costs are usually the most interesting. 
You do that, man.
