Is the main reason audio equipment depreciates so much is


1.Because technology is always changing and people always want the latest and greatest.
2.It is expensive to repair when it breaks.
3.It has always depreciated a lot since the inception and that is just the pattern it has always stayed in.
4.It is overpriced to begin with.

Yes, taters- from original cost to wholesale to middle man to full retail,
there is a tremendous mark-up.
excellent discussions guys-  I am interested in the cost of making cables/power cords (my caveat of our wonderful hobby).
Being a Transparent fan, I often wonder how this company, arrives at the OPUS level pricing? EnKlein, ElRod + MIT are others as well.

In other words, the true cost of making (1) pair of IC, (1) PC
the network box...?
