Most electronic parts are dirt cheap to manufacture. The rule of thumb is to sell high end audio for 6 times its manufacturing cost. This includes the building, the electricity, the parts and cabinets, etc, the labor and insurance, etc, and a doubling of the dealer cost for the retail price. Despite these margins, many companies gloriously exceed that margin. When a $300,000 Ferrari costs $160,000 to make, that $140,000 profit to the maker seems like a lot, but when a $10,000 amp costs $3000 (if it is a good one), to make, we barely flinch.
Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy
Not sure if anyone caught this, but it's quite the take down of some of the very expensive server/streamer stuff out there. It seems logical to me -- especially when he prices out what some of the internal components are -- but this is above my pay grade so I cannot confirm. It's here: https://youtu.be/MMSC9-qQ_K4
Wonder if others agree or disagree with the basic takedown.
