Discounting R&D (i.e. prototypes, etc) & labour. Looking at materials cost + direct production labour cost...
TT (i.e. rockport etc, expensive): mechanical device, lots of engineering & precision machining, low production runs -> expensive.
Electronics (expensive): low -to medium cost. Tubes are hand assembled -> more expensive than ss that can be smd'd. Some tubes are rare -> cost goes up further. Chassis are expensive. Matching components requires time & large inventory-> extra cost. So it ranges b/ween 10%-20% of retail.
Spkrs: 10-20% of retail price
Digital: I can't say.
These are ballpark figures of course.
